Reviews
'This is an opus magnum worth owning!'
(8/10) -
Rock Sound
'Fragile, heart-rending post-rock pop. Recommended!' -
Time Out
'A haunting bombast backed by a voice so ethereal that it makes Anthony Hegarty sound like a grizzled Motörhead roadie.' -
Bearded Magazine
'The dramatic, lo-fi cinerama of 'Boy-Cott' off his The Low Priced Heartbreakers You Can Own opus... doesn't actually sail far off the mark of those Leonard Cohen and Junior Boys comparisons he's often labelled with' -
Drowned In Sound (UK)
'Sweet, sorrowful songs. His clear semi-falsetto invites obvious comparisons to Jónsi Birgisson, but without the melodrama. Closing his set with the evergreen
'Moon River' was a touch of genius. It’s hard not to be moved...' -
The Herald
'Zimmer has produced an album to be proud of... It nearly has the grandeur of
Pink Moon-era Nick Drake' -
Spectrum Culture (US)
'Melancholy acoustic guitar, dabs of horns and strings and heavenly vocals shimmer and shine.'
(8/10) -
Montreal Mirror (CA)
'Haunting, symphonic balladry and cinematic pop music, at times resembling the low-key dynamics of Bon Iver, whilst at others evoking Sigur Ros at their most spine-tingling. Recommended!' -
Boomkat
'When the BBC want to replace Sigur Rós for a stirring song on their trailers, look no further than Julius Caesar, which swells to an angelic-voiced grandeur even Sigur rarely capture. Fabulous stuff!'

Teletext Planet Sound
'Finn is the s**t! His beats shred up noise and he sings illuminating streams of consciousness over production from the next decade. It's ground-breaking and accessible, both at once.' -
Iceland Airwaves '08 (IS)
'Leonard Cohen on helium!' -
(anonymous)
'Patrick Zimmer, aka Finn, is a pretentious bore!' -
NME... and you know, NME is always right ;)
