Some people have said some really nice things about us e.g.
“perfectly encapsulates the big bold ambition of Dunedin music with the quiet drama of isolation on a South Pacific island: part Chills organ-drenched pop, part bedroom angst”
– Did Not Chart (UK)
“I really like that… I’ll be playing more tunes from that in future, no doubt about it”
– Marc Riley (The Fall), BBC6 Music 22/7/2013
“New Zealand’s Prophet Hens sort of came out of nowhere and swept me off of my feet with their Chills meets Belle and Sebastian pop alchemy. Both of those bands are highly regarded and the Prophet Hens may be better than both.” – Finest Kiss (Seattle, US)
“If you are a fan of the jangly New Zealand guitar bands we like here, you need to make a note of Dunedin’s The Prophet Hens.”
– When You Motor Away (US)
“I urge any fans of literate, chiming melodic pop records particularly those made in 1980’s Dunedin to give this a try.”
– Clinton, Norman Records (UK)
