Los Angeles Times
"There are some people who are just blessed with an endless stream of tunes... Stephen Manning is one of them."
The Big Takeover
"One of the best songwriters working in the pop-rock idiom... stands up alongside your favourite Smiths, Morrissey & Radiohead records..."
Album Description
"Choir Above Fire Below" is Statuesque's masterpiece. From the sharp guitar pop attack of "Touché" to the rich, layered guitar textures of the sublime "Present Historic," from the samba-driven lament of "Are You Sure?" to the jarring sonic invention of "Safecracker" and "Weaponised," the album represents a new renaissance for intelligent British pop creativity. With songs (and titles) like "Boys Are Lazy, Girls Are Crazy" and "Rock And, Therefore, Roll," Stephen Manning may now be crawling through the catflap of the Canon of Great Lyricists.
