REVIEW SOUNDBITES:

What People Said on Twitter: "Left it far too long to getting around to listening to this. An absolute beauty of an album".............. "Under Blue Skies is a simply amazing album quite serious never stopped playing it."................."I suggest you go and purchase new album by one of the greatest and most overlooked songwriters currently active in the UK"................"September Skies - Who writes tunes like this anymore? Who takes the time to craft lyrics like this anymore? Who produces and mixes like this anymore?" .................... "Lovely............album by Julian Pitt. Aztec Camera-style pop melancholy, perfect for a dark damp summer’s day in Edinburgh"..............

"This stuff is grand, sweeping, at times fragile and very melodic pop.....I don’t think there’s a bad song on here...All strummy guitars, dreamy keyboards, light rhythms and Pitts spot-on vocals and it all adds up to a total winner...... Under Blue Skies is a wonderful listen and I really hope Julian Pitts has some more records in him. Lots more." DAGGER ZINE daggerzine.tumblr.com/post/186458197562/armstrong-under-blue-skies-the-beautiful-music

"one of those timeless albums....effervescent feel good vibe that runs through each track.......The vocals of Julian Pitt are astounding, as if we are in the presence of a Welsh Gram Parsons....Kevin Burke (Peek A Boo Magazine) www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be/en/reviews/armstrong-under-blue-skies/

"Usually my closing paragraph will deliberate upon the fact an album may be something of a ‘grower’ and that the listener will have to devote enough time to get maximum rewards. That’s not needed here. It is instantly brilliant " ... JANGLEPOPHUB janglepophub.home.blog/2019/07/02/album-review-under-blue-skies-by-armstrong-expanded-reissue-2019-country-mile-records-the-beautiful-music/

"Under Blue Skies is a majestically melodic affair that stands comparison with the best pop music created in the past quarter of a century. If your record collection is already graced by the work of Lloyd Cole, Paddy McAloon, Roddy Frame and David Scott, then Armstrong will be among friends". Kevin McGrath NEWSOUNDWALES Review www.newsoundwales.com/cd-reviews/armstrong-under-blue-skies/

"Whether you’re yearning for summer to last just a little bit longer, or looking for a fresh party soundtrack with a wash of nostalgia, Armstrong delivers for you on Under Blue Skies" ECHOES & DUST echoesanddust.com/2019/09/armstrong-under-blue-skies-expanded/

"On the whole, this is a beautiful record and highly recommended, especially if you like thoughtful, emotional lyrics and nice harmonies. The perfect soundtrack to a summers day, or indeed any time of the year" Colours Through The Air .. coloursthroughtheair.blogspot.com/2019/07/armstrong-under-blue-skies.html

"The song Love, Hate, Passion and War, just about gets the nod as the standout track, but Under Blue Skies, was a record of such melodic magnificence that frankly, a single placing on this end of year chart does not do it sufficient justice".. INTOCREATIVE .. intocreative.co.uk/17-from-2019-into-musics-writers-choice/

"......nasal Buddy Holly notes of singer/songsmith Julian Pitt increasingly chafe against the lacklustre songwriting, defiling their otherwise pretty pastoral pop with tons of slurry'. CS, Buzz Magazine August 2019, Wales.

"Julian Pitt would appear to be one of those talented sods who can write , sing and play anything which he does under the name of Armstrong...collaboration release by Welsh Label, Country Mile and Canada's Beautiful Music. Mr Pitt lists his influences as Roddy Frame, The Pearlfishers and Prefab Sprout, fans of whom will find a new friend in Armstrong" Shindig Magazine, (Printed by Warners Group) (Surrey/London) Issue 95.

“Under Blue Skies” is an album about faith in the unseen, faith in something better, the desire to find sufficient joy today in order to make it to tomorrow. If nothing else, times in 2019 can be described as “turbulent,” and no matter what is going on inside you or around you, a better tomorrow always beckons. This album provides a soundtrack for that journey." Mike De-Angelis (There Once Was A Note)
