Alex Highton lives in a small village in the English countryside. He started writing and recording songs just for fun. But these home-recorded songs soon found their way to radio programmes: Tom Robinson's BBC Introducing, among others. They also received numoerous reviews. Encouraged by this, Alex Highton signed up on SellaBand, where you can pre-order his album and in this way

support his recording project.

"laid-back but infectious songcraft…" – Time Out

"…kept me listening, and listening and listening… a beautifully rendered cycle of songs of complexity and depth that will take your breath away…..Some of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, performed with jaw-dropping skill……World Class songs. ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE." – Rebel Riffs Blogspot

"perfect" – Giv Reviewer.Com

"4.5 out of 5………Each song feels like a little story that you can almost see unfolding as you listen…..His voice is light, airy and elastic, and the instrumentation (he plays everything himself) is buoyant and spacious. When you put this on it feels like he's right there in the room…..a pile of groovy songs with a latter day Beatle-esque warmth and Ron Sexsmith intrigue." – Gonzo Magazine

"Song writing ability, he has in spades. Patience to allow himself to express his feelings, he has in shovels……Alex is brilliant and I will say this to you good folks… If he's doing a venue near you, then go and see him. If it's vaguely near you, go and see him. If you're in a different country, then simply enjoy his sound on MySpace and tell him how lovely it is." – Living Athiest

"…..charmingly individual……..(it) exists in an idyll not a long ramble from the Village Green Preservation Society, though perhaps a little more cosmopolitan…….(an) album to slip on and enjoy from year to year…" – Sicmagazine.net

"Al Highton creates music that transports you to long hot summer days and hazy mornings. With toes dipped in psychedelia, folk and pure pop……A sublime and hypnotic sounding collection of songs…..a singer/songwriter destined for impressive things; this is a gorgeously realised first impression" – UK MUSIC SEARCH

"One of the most beautiful set of songs I've heard for a long time. Alex Highton is, in my opinion set for very big things. A must have album for any discerning music lover. Definitley a name to watch out for…." – The Waiting Room Error FM.

"….an old-fashioned troubadour in the strictest sense. Strumming gentle folk songs on his guitar, his warm and soulful voice conjures up memories of sun-kissed summer nights out on the lawn." – Metro One To Watch

"I was absolutely knocked out by the quality of Alex Highton's songs, his voice (with a hint of a Northern accent) and his artful, yet understated delivery. I don't know a great deal about him apart from the fact that he hails from somewhere near Cambridge (UK) and one of his songs was used in an episode of Hollyoaks (but we'll not hold that against him)! I wholeheartedly recommend that you go check out his Myspace profile….." – Timbre Obscura Podcast

"Lovely stuff…..like Gruff Rhys does The White Album" – Real Wood Records

"…I emphasized the fact that his music is nice. It IS nice, but nice in a good way. You can listen to it anytime and not need to be in the mood for it. It will make you happy to hear. After a long commute home from work at night, you can turn it on, take a deep breath, and suddenly feel completely fine. I don't know how he does it, but Highton can make a fantastic song." – Not On Your Radio Blogspot.

"I bet loads of people like this, because it's the good old honest variety of music, i.e. one man, his guitar and his voice. A gravelly sound, but a sweet guitar and a good voice. This is a traditional ballad, as far as I'm concerned and this dude should pack out small venues a real treat. It's got cold winter nights written all over it, but from the perspective of a warm bar. Nice." – Living Athiest
