Pascal EP by The Scottish Enlightenment

Song, by Toad: " A bloody good EP...It depends a great deal on single guitar notes, which are now dropped into the songs without hurry, allowing the simple but infectious melodies to sink in at their own pace"

Peenko blog: "one of the best releases that I have heard all year. ‘All Homemade Things’ could possibly be my favourite song to come out this year, I can’t get enough of it."

The List: "The Scottish Enlightenment plough a gentle furrow, their ‘Pascal EP’ shuffling along in a dream, echoey and half-asleep, but disguising lyrical bite all the same."

Rock-city.co.uk: 8/10 "Fans of James Yorkston and White Rabbits should appreciate this gentle understated Scottish Rock, the five tracks on this EP are all well crafted, and at times the loose guitar hooks reminded me of Pavement (quite a compliment) particularly on ‘If You Would Just Try a Little Harder’. The whispy vocals of ‘Riverbed’ act as a perfect intro to ‘All Homemade Things’ with it’s strung out guitars that are stretched for dramatic purpose. This is intellectually engaging and a poetic slice of ‘slacker rock’ and this EP deserves to be noticed. Impressive!"
