Incredible…prolific.’ – Dean Jackson, BBC Introducing
‘With comparisons to the likes of John Martyn and Tim Buckley, his left field take on jazz-inspired folk is a joy to behold’ – Dom Gourlay, Drowned in Sound
‘His intricately layered music is accompanied by thoughtful lyrics and a charismatic voice beyond his years’ – Jimi Arundell, Gigantic
‘Mack’s voice is soft, sweet and doused with just enough reverb to reinforce the melancholy nature of the lyrics, which read more like a piece of abstract poetry than your usual pop platitudes. In an era where the term ‘folk’ has become diluted, and is tagged onto anyone with an acoustic guitar, he manages to combine tradition with originality.’ – Oliver Cobbin, I’m Not From London
‘Belfast-born Jimi Mack has created his very own contemporary genre, drizzled with the serene elements of folk and jazz that have been presented exceptionally throughout his and Cameron’s newly released single, Salao. The stylistic manner in which he plays the guitar – soon accompanied by the bright harmony of the violin – plays a significant role in displaying his influences from Irish folk; however, a new fruit has been added to the smoothie as it has been blended with Cameron’s skillful drumming techniques, infused with nothing but fruity jazz.’ – Cate Grundy, TuneCrush
‘Reminiscent of musicians such as John Martyn, Joni Mithell and Van Morrison, with a plethora of progressive influences to boot’ – Ophelia King, Leftlion
‘Jimi Mack’s EP paints a natural environment: light shining through trees in a woodland clearing with water flowing nearby. All four songs have a unique, celestial quality…. This collection is pure fantasy. It’s not a casual listen, but one that brings a sense of wistfulness and loneliness.’ - Anushka Shah, Leftlion
‘Jimi Mack’s bluesy, almost Spanish sounding guitar playing and folky, husky, thick sounding vocal will leave you staring in awe. His single ‘Salao’ will prove that and the video to go with it is a must watch.’ – Katie Beard, NUSIC
