SAVED REVIEWS

"...mesmerisingly poetic compositions..."

“Boldly inventive, quirky and challenging...Saved doesn’t just question our throwaway culture—it satirises our view of the past as defunct, valuing what can be used or salvaged.”

"His voice is surprising...a tone that varies between Bowie and Elton John is a pleasant surprise."

"Its tone is so distinctive, so deliberately dowdy, so utterly just-so. It knows exactly what it’s doing and it does it sublimely."

"Total kitsch joy, delivered with a beautifully hidden tongue-in-cheek... but also bright, earnest, and demonstrative of exceptional musical skill."

"If you expected a cosy tribute to the Yamaha organ, this isn't it—it's altogether stranger and perhaps rather more interesting."

"...quaint yet ingeniously deployed array of pre-digital technology...cheerfully bleeping and blooping keyboards."

"This new, domestic format is depicting our new domesticity... Are Leak's songs all full of a Talking-Headsy, late-capitalist, suburban alienation? Perhaps."

"...navigating his miscellany with a blend of childish glee and stone-faced professionalism... Saved is a joyful way to spend the afternoon."

"Graeme Leak invites us into his eccentric, analogue world...pondering the mundanity of life and the simple joy of retro sound."

"...you filled me with pure joy..."

"...fascinating to watch, and often amusing, if not laugh-out-loud funny.”
