Some new reviews of the More Love and Death...
"As Parry has proved it once more with More Love And Death, his dark and beautiful and complex world is a work of genius." Daily Vault, 2009
"Parry's poems of morbid carnality and romance are framed by heavy velvet curtains of stylized theatrical gloom." Uncut, 2009
"Overall, to imaging this, just put Tom Waits in front of A Silver Mt Zion, an opera singer is in the wings doing vocal exercises. Gravelly vocals over sometimes elegant and sometimes Kurt Weill like musicscapes, earthy imagery contrasting with polite strings, the gamekeeper is in the drawing room enjoying the ladies from behind. Sometimes though the songs are more like dream sequences ‘Kicking and Screaming’ with its spoken bookends and dividers draws the ear towards another world where opera is the opiate, I expect the Flying Dutchman to arrive at any moment and deliver me from my dream. If I was taken away and delivered to ‘Dine Alone’ it could only be to an ante-chamber to a circle of hell, sparse percussion marking each moment, tremulous vocals with a deep choral rumbling percolating up menacingly from below." Americana UK, 2009
"Parry's lyrics are the best. Recommended. (Rating: 5++)" Baby sue, 2009
"Parry's rough voice (that inevitably recalls something of Tom Waits) is matched with the operatic soprano of Donna Loomans. The combination is unique: emotional, compelling, eerie, majestic. The quality of this album is evident in every single note." Terrascope, 2009

‘Kicking and screaming’ and 'God loves me' wil be played on ‘Moiré’ this Thursday on Radio Centraal in Belgium.
