Press

“The medium of written word is probably not the best means by which to try and do justice to this rather magical debut single. It conjures images of the wonderful Captain Beefheart doing his best Tom Waits impression to a Bob Dylan song in a dank and smoke-filled basement bar. Genius! 10/10”
Loud Horizon

“Comparisons to Captain Beefheart have been banded around Glasgow’s Mummy Short Arms but Frank Black at his most violent seems a better fit on the brilliantly unhinged Single of the Month, ‘Change’ … It’s a screamer.”
The List

“I think I could confidently predict that Glasgow’s MUMMY SHORT ARMS are probably the best band you haven’t yet heard.”
10/10 Loud Horizon

“Seriously these songs are really good… a hugely enjoyable surprise, imaginative, exciting and perhaps the start of a new genre – crazy-pirate-folk-rock.”
Can You Hear This

“Like a really amped up Dylan singing over the tightest and coolest backing band around.”
A pocket full of seeds

“I am always banging on about wanting to hear something original. Well I guess it’s safe to say that this is like nothing else that’s going on in Scotland at the moment.”
