"A little bit folk-y, a little bit indie, a touch arty, a lot wordy... The President Lincoln have made a fine album."

“Contagious… infectious… the best new album I’ve heard so far this year”
“The President Lincoln has music festival band written all over them… This is core indie music at its finest”
“A healthy mix of the Decemberists and The Go-Betweens”
" [The President Lincoln get] the atmosphere pumping with their music, which combines a warped ’90s jangle with a more idiosyncratic edge. ‘Thoughts & Prayers’ and ‘This Could Be Our Country’ both have the baroque ache of The Decemberists, while the more rocking 'An Attack on My Art Is An Attack on Progress’ has the skewed indie of Built to Spill.
"The President Lincoln filled the stage with engaging lyrics and guitar ballads. Tracks like ‘This Could Be Our Country’ and ‘Thoughts & Prayers’ got the crowd in a sway."
"Imagine if a band attempted to cross Placebo with glam rock and just a faint trace of Americana. It might sound something like this..." Steve Lamacq, 23/04/2013

"An ambitious and highly entertaining indie rock record. Built around a vast array of ideas and instruments, the album swoops from surging uplifting choruses to sweet and sombre ballads... ‘The Sinking Of The President Lincoln’ is an inventive and brilliant record."

"An album as deep, interesting and musically fascinating as the oceans the ship originally sailed across... An international masterpiece."
"The bluesy 'Things We Don’t Talk About,' a duet with Stephanie Morgan... unfolds like a scene from musical drama, and builds to a beautiful crescendo."
