Selected press for Only You:

“Big Wave chime and dance to one of the catchiest songs of 2012”. Listen Before You Buy

“Its delightfully fizzing waves of hooky lovelorn-female-fronted-pop reminds one favorably of jangly C86 bands and early Camera Obsura”. god is in the tv

“Big Wave’s Only You zips along punkily like Kenickie and deliriously manic like The Flaming Lips when they go pop” Did Not Chart

“…The song is outrageously catchy and I think could be a big hit if the love is spread… So check this out now and shake your polkadot or drainpipe booty…”. Fresh Net
