Pioneers of pastoral indie-folk pop Tim and Sam’s Tim and the Sam Band with Tim and Sam are a four-piece multi instrument-playing outfit.

Megan Vaughan, Manchestermusic: "Tim and Sam make music for the entrance foyer of heaven."

ManchesterEveningNews: "The Manc oufit make music as snug as a warm winter blanket; all folk-drenched pastoral psychedelia with an extra sprinkling of ethereal wooziness."

The Guardian: Recommended new music. "Like listening to Sigur Rós, without the worry of deciphering Hopelandic."

Rock Sound: "Carefully crafted instrumental indie that twists and turns with folky wonder."

Clash Music: "Wonderfully Gonzales styled Balearic instrumental pop. Curious, longing, elegant, romantic, a Working For A Nuclear Free City sans the techno elements, Join The Dots is an emotive, resonant track that wouldn’t feel out of place on the first Café Del Mar album."

Cath Aubergine, Manchestermusic: "Tim and his real friends play lovely indie-flavoured melodic post-rock with gorgeous peals of acoustic guitars, a clarinet and a glockenspiel propped up on an ironing board. This seems, for some reason, quite important - in a genre where it sometimes seems bands are trying to out-pretentious each other they seem warm, organic and very down-to-earth."
