Liner Notes
Kind words for The City & Horses
- MP3Hugger.com says
"'Little Finland' ranges from the subtle to the beguiling" and that The City & Horses are "the missing link between Teenage Fanclub and a whole host of artists from the Sarah label." I could just hug MP3Hugger! - Monkey calls "Little Finland"
"a little gem" that "starts as Teenage Fanclub and ends as Belle & Sebastian yet has a homespun charm all of its own." - Cable & Tweed says
"Marc Louis is a talented and prolific singer-songwriter with quite a flair for pop and Pro Tools." - The Spoilt Victorian Child says
"It's just stunning how somebody this talented hasn't been signed. Criminal. The worlds gone mad I tell ya!" Oh, Simon! - Hot Stoff says
"I've found some very beautiful [songs]." - Culture Deluxe says
The City & Horses are "a sound somewhere between Mercury Rev and Teenage Fanclub, but perhaps a more obvious reference point would be The Velvet Underground". And then they interviewed me. - SixEyes says
"The City & Horses is a catchy, jangly, lo-fi project out of New York from generously talented, and generous, Marc Louis. Listen to the sweet and achy jangle of 'Little Finland' and then get excited when I tell you that the tiny 3 song EP which contains this song is just one of many free downloads written and recorded by Louis over the past ten years." - The Philadelphia Weekly says,
"Marc C. Prison kicks out 4-track folk, his brittle guitar and creaky croon carrying tales of mall girls, night driving and general malaise. He is beleaguered, but not beaten."
