Rhythms Magazine (Australia): “Refreshingly original”
“Unique is a vastly overused and abused adjecEve in the vocabulary of album reviewers, but in the case of the award-winning 10-piece Danish band known as Tone of Voice Orchestra it’s genuinely applicable.

TOVO brings together refreshingly original composiEons and a cornucopia of styles from across the roots music spectrum, in a style that’s is incontroverEbly their own.(...) “In summaEon, Running From the Devil is an admirably bold musical tapestry that sashays between the contemporary and the past as the Tone of Voice Orchestra seamlessly blends Scandinavian and global influences via irresisEble grooves and hooklines, lush instrumental textures, improvised solos, and moments of sEllness and inEmacy.”(Tony Hillier) Print only

Song Review
Lead single “Tourist at God’s Mercy” by Nordic Music Central (UK)
"Polyphonic Spree meets Portsmouth Sinfonia I suppose although I guarantee they play their instruments much beaer than the laaer! (...) It is a beguiling sound that can be appended to whatever you like. (...) It’s a well thought out piece, highly melodic and provocaEve (...) It has something of Fleetwood Mac about it. I’m thinking mainly of ‘Tusk’. (READ)
