Press Quotes
It's one of those albums. Like 'Parachutes', for some, we suppose. But then listening to Coldplay instead of Turin Brakes is like the Almost Famous generation choosing Don McLean over Tim Buckley. One's comforting, familiar, pretty; the other strikes at your soul. And it's a special kind of record which can encourage [I]and[/I] soundtrack such introspection, without losing its edge to indulgent miserabilism
—NME
Olly Knights' vocals mix Jeff Buckley moan and Marc Bolan hiss. The songs are simple, emotional, and earnest...., and they're laden with Everly Brothers harmonies
—Pitchfork
'The Optimist LP' is a quite stunningly beautiful record.
—Drowned in Sound
