"Kiran Leonard makes manic, rippingly good music" - Drowned in Sound
"It’s worth reminding yourself that the swarming de eps, lo-fi thumbprints and careworn erudition of Bowler Hat Soup would represent a career-best achievement for a preternatural craftsman of any ag e " - Record Collector
"there’s so much depth (before we even get to Leona rd’s fascinating vocal yelps and stream-of-consciousness lyrics) and variety it’s ve rging on the unbelievable that it was written before he was even out of school" - The Line Of Best Fit "...without a doubt the most invigorating song I've heard all year" - Pitchfork "
He's supremely, eclectically gifted – meet the Man c mutha of invention" - The Guardian
