Alongside other reviews in couple of other magazines, a nice one has been published in Germany’s Backspin Magazine last week. Read it right here:

“Hello Cruel World“, the new album by Sole And The Skyrider Band, has been getting lots of great reviews all over the planet. Potholes in My Blog called it one of Sole‘s “finest records in his career” and UK’s The Skinny gave it 4 of 5 stars saying that the album is “executed with authoritative coherence and grace.”
