"No matter how bad things are, Wave and cloud reminds you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel."

"The best sermon you've heard all week"
The Deli Magazine

"If I could marry a CD, I seriously would consider marrying this one"
A Case Of Sonic Attack

"It is a brave musician that opens his debut album with a nine minute epic, but the soft, slow stormy heartbreak that is Seafarer’s Lament that sets the stage for The Whiskey Priest’s Wave and Cloud."

the album is a solid collection of love songs, or seen in another light, real poetry.

Wave and Cloud is by no means a ground breaker, but for conjuring something with je ne sais quoi out of such familiar elements, it’s very much worth your while.

I don’t think it’ll have the same word of mouth phenomenon as Mr Vernon’s opus, but for those who think Emma seems like forever ago, you could do worse than audition this release.
