Jake Bugg's eponymously-titled debut album is 14 songs, clocking in at under 40 minutes, that belie his eighteen years. Sharp, observant and honest, they inhabit a world no other new UK act is currently operating in. It opens with recent single "Lightning Bolt", a scorching blues number with his Telecaster to the fore. New single "Two Fingers" follows with its swaggering chorus, whilst the likes of "Country Song" and "Broken" are more reflective. It's a perfectly paced record, one that marks out Jake as the most exciting new UK act of 2012 and manages to effortlessly straddle the gap between authenticity and mainstream appeal.

"Simply Jake Bugg is the greatest mature-thinking youngest singer-songwriter to come out of Britain in an age…….YES BUGG IS THAT GOOD" Waikato Times

"an 18 year old with a simply incredible turn of phrase and an intuitive way of linking storytelling to emotion……nothing in recent years has touched his soaring song writing" stuff.co.nz

"…this album topped the British charts. As It deserved to" Graham Reid, elsewhere.co.nz
