Advanced Press Quotes For 'Southern Lights'

Rip It Up - 'Undoubtedly, Sean James Donnelly is one of New Zealand's
most talented acts and his latest, like his last, is worth getting
excited about.' (5/5 Stars) - Chris Long

Metro - 'Brilliant... dark emotions take beautiful music by the hand,
and the two meet in an illuminated, seductive, graceful embrace.' -
Gary Steel

It's the best local release I've heard since 2002, when Donnelly put
his last record out.' - Grant Smithies

justice. It's a musical masterpiece that needs to be heard to be
