Simon Ungar I walked the Effra this afternoon, and read about the song, Down in the Effra, in my guidebook, London's Lost Rivers by Tom Bolton. Quickly purchased the EP when I got home. Love this.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) A truly wonderful mini album! It's just four tracks, but all of them are so great that no more are needed to keep me happy. Andrew Rumsey clearly masters the art of songwriting. It's folk rock with excellent melodies and catchy guitar riffs, wistfully reminding me of the first few albums released by "The Byrds" in the second half of the 60's. Hard to pick a favorite track - for now I settled on "Down In The Effra", but actually I've got four favorite tracks here. Favorite track: Down In The Effra.
