| Recent reviews of ‘At the Outpost’ released March 29 2010 |
| ‘The work of a Renaissance master with his paintbrushes replaced by a guitar...A sound, which could have been created by talented teenagers in their parents’ basement away from prying ears just so not to steal their authentically awesome sound.' Maverick Magazine* * * * |
| ‘...a hugely enjoyable set of lean acoustic arrangements anchored by an acute pop sensibility and Bradley’s warm delivery...he merits a first for At The Outpost’s consummate thesis on the craft.’ Rock n Reel Magazine |
| ‘Brilliant, brilliant songs. Twelve of them. All intricately crafted, played with joy, and sung with warmth… ‘The Man I Love’ – one of the best songs in the history of ever.’ Unpeeled,UK |
| '...one of Scotland’s most gifted singer-songwriters as well as being an extraordinary composer and player with complete command of his craft.. we have never failed to be impressed by the understated brilliance of everything he does. He delivers music that is both intelligent and accessible with unmistakable warmth and wit that places him up there with the greats.' Acoustic Edinburgh |
| ‘I highly recommended that you check him out as he has one of the most beautiful vocals I have heard all year. His voice reminds me more of classic singer song-writers from the 60's or 70's, his songs seem to fit the descent into winter almost perfectly.' Peenko blog, Scotland |
| 'Chris Bradley's record is probably going to make a big splash here at the Love Shack. Chris’ first solo album Voices, was a gorgeous piece of work that included songs that were folksy and thoughtful and had just beautiful lyrics. Another great voice comes to us out of Edinburgh, sigh.' Love shack, baby blog, USA. |
| Reviews of Chris’s debut album ‘Voices’ |
| ‘A big talent in the making.' SUNDAY TIMES |
| ’one of the strongest albums I've heard this year.' IS THIS MUSIC |
| 'The construction of Bradley’s songs is their chief selling point, all lightly-picked guitars and Byrdsian melodies, but he’s also in possession of a fine James Taylor vocal that’s just shy of a falsetto.' THE LIST |
| 'To describe him as a talented singer, songwriter and guitarist is rather like saying that Tiger Woods is quite good at golf... on the evidence of these songs he is one of the best.' Is This Music |
| 'It's really well done. I loved all the weird melodies and quirkiness of it.' Vic Galloway, BBC Radio One |
| 'A promising debut album... has a troubadour spirit.' The Scotsman |
| '...one of Scotland‟s most extraordinary musical talents...' Acoustic Edinburgh |
| 'This is not an album that takes one song and gives you a dozen more on a similar and rapidly diminishing theme. Rather, chord changes, lyrics and vocal range that reminds me of Jeff Buckley's in range, if not in sound, making me want to play the album again and again. It's one of the strongest albums I've heard this year.' 17 Seconds |
