nice reviews: ....culturedeluxe.com: "Despite being clearly influenced by some of the USA..s finest artists - ..Inside Out.. brings to mind simultaneously Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Young and the Mamas and Papas - The Ash and The Oak are a 4 piece from Newport in Wales and, some three years into their career, are the focus of the fabulous Kruger Singles Club for September. These two tracks successfully show two sides of the band with ..Blossom.. being a hippy hymn reminiscent of, well, The Eagles and Marc Bolan covering The Kinks.. ..Shangri-La.....now doesn..t that sound great?

highvoltage.org.uk: " the Kruger Singles Club continue their maturing trend with Newport folk-rockers The Ash and The Oak. With 'Inside Out' Mixing up their drum shuffles and tambourine shakes, there's something light about those Beach Boy harmonies, but then something altogether more grave about the thought that these guys wouldn't be averse to breaking out the LSD in between songwriting sessions.

B-Side 'Blossom' goes from this start into a full-blown pagan call to the earth, this time breaking out the lap-steel between the verses. It seems to share more with ancient English folk than it does with some of The Ash and The Oak's preferred American references, but this blending of transatlantic traditions makes for a powerful hippy-jam.

Fuck, how does anyone make a record like this? By going on nature rambles and listening to Fleet Foxes probably. Not that there's anything wrong with that..."
