Here's what Unpeeled Magazine had to say about absentee's new single:
"BOLLOCKS TO HOXTON SQ
Absentee 'The Getaway' (Radiotone Records)
Alright, this is the bloody dogs. A grown man doing a low-down growl n drawl over a stinging guitar, both whipped along by a tight arse country-punky bass & drum and the things they've done to that guitar solo are probably illegal, but unspeakably ace. The main man here, Dan Michaelson, is an East London boy, but if he was fresh out of Nashville his towering tunesmithery would see the industry lining up to kiss his arse. Single of the month? Oh yes, very and that's not even considering the blinding flip, 'Homegroan'. You need this record, if only to tide you over until the album, 'Hawaiian Disco', is released."
Absentee single The Getaway/Homegroan released 26th April. As heard on Radio 1, 6 music, SBN, and other great stations up and down the country. Single of the Month 'Unpeeled Magazine', reviews in Logo, Record Collector and many more.
Catalogue number RadioSVN05, distributed by Cargo.
Available in all good record stores including HMV, Rough Trade and Sonomu.net on numbered 7 inch vinyl only.
