about

'A very cool mini album - self reflective, calm and poignant all at the same time - make sure you give it a chance - perhaps a cult following will ensue!'

Chris Watson - Glasswerk

'There’s sonic diversity, strong melodies, intelligent lyrics and performances that showcase Gray’s smooth vocal quality and range. In short, I’m hearing potential to go much further.'

Tony Porter - Shakenstir

'The voice and writing may bind the package but the contents are as intriguing as they are variant. ‘None Of The Above’ is both a tuneful and eclectic mix.'

Andrew Lockwood - All Gigs

'Self-written and self-produced, the debut mini album by William Gray is a real gem. This is quite an achievement bearing in mind it is increasingly difficult to find something original from the singer/songwriter scene.'

Jonathan Leonard - Leonard’s Lair

'A charming mix of appealing instrumentation fueling the leftfield scenario.'

Mandy Williams - Subba Cultcha

'It's clear that this is the eclectic and idiosyncratic ramblings of an effortlessly talented songwriter.'

Rob Paul Chapman - Vibrations Magazine

'Laced with oddities and unusual qualities None Of The Above is a treasure with melancholic and artistic lyrics that allow space for enthused imagery of the weird and wonderful.'

Ben Barltrop - No Title Magazine

'None Of The Above is a very solid debut and its experimental nature is welcoming rather than being tailored to fans of something more obscure. It paves the way for Gray to pursue a number of different styles for his next release.'

Adam Brown - Stereoboard

None Of The Above was also voted one of Vibrations Magazine's favourite albums of 2010:

'Bloke + Acoustic Guitar is hardly an exciting combination of thrilling ingredients, but it's what you do with the ingredients that counts. Here, William Gray serves up a menu of diversity and imagination that will nourish the heartiest appetite.

The songs ebb and flow through a myriad of emotional states emphasised by Gray's charming delivery. 'Stop The Rot' is as slight as it is gorgeous, 'Like Orange Juice On A Newly Pierced Tongue' a beautiful piece of imagery, while 'Freaky Dreams' is just plain odd. Each track offers something intriguing with minimum effort. Delightful.'
