Trade ReviewSimply Thrilled is a brilliant caper, just like the Postcard label itself * MOJO *
At some point, someone was going to write a book about the history of Postcard Records and barely a chapter into
Simply Thrilled, you realise it would have been a tragedy if anyone other than Simon Goddard had taken on the job... It’s a testament to Goddard’s masterful storytelling that – once you’ve hooted at the last preposterous tale in Simply Thrilled – the myth looms larger than ever, the music a little more breathlessly brilliant than ever before. -- Pete Paphides * Caught by the River *
Wonderful, super and boss! -- Edwyn Collins
