"Beyond brilliant...a band I fell in love with from the first myspace listen"
Mike Diver - Drowned in Sound (quotation from this feature)
"
Left With Pictures are the closest imaginable band to truly embodying that overused 'ensemble' tag convincingly...
they have legs enough for walking, swooning, harmonizing and lilting with the very best of their contemporaries."
Daniel Ross - Drowned in Sound

BOWS & ARROWS SINGLE
Left with Pictures are a classically trained trio who admit to attempting to recreate the colour, beauty and textures of Debussy and Ravel on a shoestring budget - it is admittedly something which they are close to achieving. ... this inspired gem has bewitched us. ‘Bows and Arrows' is simply enchanting and utterly beguiling, it transcends the normal parameters of pop providing a pretty picture box of ever evolving melodic landscapes. ...deliciously disarms your defences. Joint single of the Missive - nothing less nothing more.

All three members of Left With Arrows are classically trained and it shows. They play with incredible skill, their knowledge of the intricate science of music making Bows & Arrows all the more beautiful.
"EP"
TASTY FANZINE, JULY 2005
Left With Pictures - ep
This 6 track ep is a delightful trip into another level. Its like very few sublime ep's I've heard
UK MUSIC SEARCH, MAY 2005
Never sacrificing a good song for the sake of experimentation, they are a band well and truly on top of their game.
Left With Pictures deliver catchy pop songs wrapped up in bold musical directions and sprinkled with a large dose of emotional soul.
JOYZINE, MAY 2005
lovely, woozy and withering all at the same time. Lovely stuff. I look forward to their next release, because it may well be very special indeed.
"Good performances, good script, excellent music"
"Without a doubt all is helped by ‘cutting edge acoustic folk band' Left With Pictures' wonderfully disjointed soundtrack played live. The band is the real discovery of the production. Intriguing and worth seeing."
TIME OUT - nov 2006
"DoD's Yaniv Fridel and members of folksters Left With Pictures...strum, blow and bang with aplomb to produce haunting soundscapes."
CAMDEN GAZETTE - nov. 2006
" a macabre mix of dance and physical theatre set to rather wonderful live music provided by folk band Left With Pictures...perfect melodies and poetic lyrics...one might say they are the glue that holds the production together."
