Reviews:

In the Gloom has "an edge to it…. The result of this is that it makes you re-listen and listen again (Bernard Clarke - RTÉ Lyric FM)

We love the slice of ethereal dream pop – New Wave of Shoegaze, anyone? – which has been served up by October Fires. (Stuart Clark - Hot Press Magazine)

“Weaving large-scale indie-folk, bold harmonic flourishes and an icy backdrop, October Fires’ individualistic sound comes to the fore on ‘Screaming Red’”. (The Last Mixed Tape)

"Kildare based band October Fires channel Lisa Hannigan-esque vocals on their new track ‘Pray’…Altogether, it makes for an eclectic listen". (Nialler9)

“The vocals invoke a ritualistic incantation, free-flowing plonking piano progressions and bass add to that nonchalant care-free sense". (REMY)

"October Fires have found the perfect blend between beauty and otherworldly eeriness". (Barry Gruff) 

"There be sorcery at work here and one listen will have you under their spell”. (Hot Press online)
