Jon South From the hairs-on-the-back-of-the-neck melancholy of "Are You Happy?" to the joyous whimsy of "Hornsey Automatic FC" to the irresistibly catchy oddness of "Satellite Hitori", this is a glorious compilation of some of the wonderful things Gare du Nord put out. Fantastic, eclectic stuff.

about

"Gathering-up pieces that dabble in Robyn Hitchcock’s whimsical psych-pop jangling (from Simon Klein, Joss Cope, Farmer), ornate balladry (Raleigh Long), harmony-coated folk-rock comforts (The Forensic Report), shambling early-Wedding Presentisms (Those Unfortunates), acid-bucolical rambling (The Cold Spells), Half Man Half Biscuit-gone-skiffle musings (Papernut Cambridge), lo-fi synth-pop (Carnet De Voyage, Picturebox with Deerful) and amorphous art-pop given an Underworld-like remix (Keiron Phelan), there’s a lot across Ashford International that warrants repeated visits and follow-on investigations of those involved."
Concrete Islands - 2021

"With a range of psychedelic and leftfield pop, folk and ambient music, it may not all work for everyone, but there’s much good stuff here. Joss Cope’s ‘So Said Sun Tzu’ feels almost like a glorious Pale Fountains throwback, contrasting with an endearing fragility on contributions from Raleigh Long and Jack Hayter. ‘Nunnery Fields Forever’, a Picturebox/Deerful collaboration of minor- key, Saint Etienne-style greatness, probably takes the honours, though the welcome return of Twink with ‘Dreams Turn Into Rainbows’ caps an enjoyable set."
