Reviews

Bipolar Diversions:

"... vocalist Willie Dowling (Honeycrack) orchestrates a mesh of strings and horns that puts you in mind of Jellyfish at their most adventurous. Like the latter, all musical reference points are writ large (do a shot every time there's a nod to Brian Wilson, 10cc and the Beatles and you'll be drunk before the album's end), but it's beautifully done."
Phil Wilding, Classic Rock

" Slightly glammy power poppers - fond of early Elton John as well as Bowie... "
Time Out

" Every time I see Jackdaw4, I find the precision of the band astonishing, yet there's never any sacrificing of soul. "

" ... quite cunningly dodge any pigeon-holing shenanigans by being slightly different, majestic, out-of-space and so Goddamn happy!"
Room Thirteen

" Bipolar Diversions is insane. It laughs in the face of super-serious pop shoe gazers and smirks ironically at this year's pop darlings as they clutch desperately at pop's coat-tails. Jackdaw4 grin from ear to ear as they reel off hook after hook, which float effortlessly around 70's pop kitsch, Blur style irony and even ELO harmonies."

"Every song is a mini-masterpiece of arranging and inspired performance. The title track is not only gorgeous, it offers the sonic equivalent of bi-polar disorder, an audible analog of what a person experiences. "My Little Gangsta" covers the same territory as XTC's "No Thugs in Our House," with comparable flare. But it's those soaring voices that continue to suck you in."
Mike Baron, NotLame

""Jackdaw4 have, with "Bipolar Diversions", leapt into the top rank of melodic pop artists working today. Weaving in and out of song styles and tempos like fearless, musical magicians, they are the definition of cool, man, and you have only to spin this hall-of-fame record to feel the effect. "Bipolar Diversions" is simply fantastic stuff.""
Alan Haber, Buhdge and Pure Pop Radio, USA

" This album is what I hope every new album I listen to in a given year will be but so few are: So insanely, disgustingly catchy throughout that I don't even think about skipping a track "

" Jackdaw4's new CD is 120% recommended for any fan of full blown, hook filled, well crafted power pop. It's tough to get any better than this "
Jay, Popbang Radio

" ...strongly encourage you to check out an album that has Best Record of 2007 pretty much stamped across its forehead: Jackdaw4's "Bipolar Diversions "

" As if were needed, further proof of Willie Dowling’s songwriting credentials "
Dave Ling, Music Journalist

" Ten tracks that run the gauntlet of classic pop and rock sounds, all shot through with Willie's typical lyrical wit and way with a chord change "
Darren Stockford, Last FM

"Jackdaw4 has to be the greatest band in England at this time... 10 out of 5 stars."
SugarBuzz Magazine

"Their aptly titled new album sees virtually every song characterized by abrupt chord, tempo, and stylistic changes which reflect various moods"
Not Lame

" Every track is relevatory, without any weakness and will have you crying for more. Thank you Willie Dowling, chief singer, songwriter and producer of "Bipolar Diversions," one of the best of the year - easily"
Powerpopaholic

" This will easily make my top ten albums of the year and give it a listen and I'd bet it would make yours!"
Jason Ritchie, Get Ready To Rock

" Well my friends, Jackdaw4 is this year's model. And if that means anything to you, you can thank me as soon as you get your hands on this album and listen to the first few seconds of it while a huge grin plasters itself across your face "
