"Like Tim Hardin, Phil Ochs or Townes van Zandt, King transmutes squalor and self-laceration into pure gold."
MOJO
"A powerful work of unblinking emotional seriousness. Entombed in gorgeously sepulchral tunes, the effect is quite magnificent. King is a special talent."
THE WORD ('A New Kind of Loneliness')
"MWK has entered the rarefied field of classic singer songwriters."
USA ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
"Like our very own Rodney Crowell."

R2 4/5

"God Shaped Hole is real Blood on the Tracks stuff, King's voice is superb. Utterly compelling and beautifully wrought, this is a masterpiece of sorts."
TIME OUT
