notes
"Chunky Planet...Cork's most likely candidates for better things"...(IRISH TIMES)
"An intoxicating mix that makes you forget that it's Irish music you're listening to...Get onboard now, before they become too popular to be cool."
(4 STARS - CORK EVENING ECHO)
"Pick of the fortnight ...Chunky Planet occupy the hinterland between Badly Drawn Boy, The Eels and Tom Waits, delivering a sub-species of alt.indiefolk that deals with real issues.....Their three-track CD shows how, with a bit of thought, traditional instruments such as tin whistle and bodhrán can be used effectively and refreshingly to craft contemporary approaches to music making...Pensioners Watch TV is a delicious example of the possibilities...Her voice leads us into places most bands don't aspire to reach."
(PICK OF THE FORTNIGHT - HOT PRESS MAGAZINE)
"Pensioners Watch TV is like a lullaby with the lazy gait of its country-ish guitar and intonation to sleep...the feeling is that the band have created an alternative western landscape."
(DOWNTOWN)
"Chunky Planet explore the capabilities of traditional Irish instruments... The result is enchanting and exhilarating."
