NORMAN RECORDS REVIEW, 8/11/O8.".I've long been a quiet admirer of St. Christopher, a fragile York based 3 piece. The singles comp on Plastilina covered the Sarah years and now we have the spoils from the following decade. They're a hard band to describe but I'm often reminded heavily of The Icicle Works here and sometimes of Pulp. They bridge the gulf between brittle, tremulous indie and epic "Big music" and often end up sounding like Marc Almond fronting The Wild Swans. They endorse a production style that sounds somewhat ghostly and echo laden but listening to this, that matters not a jot for Glenn Melia is a consummate songwriter with a delicate passion for spinning incredibly melodic gems with tons of addictive hooks that bury themselves right in yr skull. Fans of The Mighty Wah! & The Field Mice may care to take peek but i'd really like to say the songs this band produced are of quite a defined pedigree so it's hard to bracket them with other bands as they just sound like themselves!."

St. Christopher – The Kind of Girl:-



"This must be one of the most beautiful songs about a girl anyone has written. Glenn Melia really is an expert on the matter, being the author of songs like "Antoinette", "Charmelle", "Josephine, Why?" and "Wanda". It's safe to say St. Christopher is one of my favourite, favourite bands and that Glenn Melia is possibly the best male pop singer ever! This swooning number is from the You Deserve More Than a Maybe 7", their classic first release on Sarah." AVERSION.COM review

"GOLDEN BLUE " CD REVIEW, BY POP MATTERS MAGAZINE:-

"Like Barrett, Gabriel, Julian Cope and others, Glenn Melia lets us hop on his back for a sonic trip across the river that flows inside your imagination.



Golden Blue is a skyscraper of sounds with a driving lead guitar at its pinnacle fueling the melody, much like a surfer at Waikiki Beach racing towards the shore. Consider the cowboy-like, psychedelic “North Wind” or “Riverbank” with its claves and handclaps. “Majestic” indeed is that, with low end that challenged my speakers and shook the walls. The reverb-soaked vocals reminded me a bit of Wham!, Heroes-era Bowie and Peter Gabriel, a good thing in my book. The obvious comparison is to Echo and The Bunnymen, but I think St. Christopher is better. St. Christopher appears more about songs than posing. “The First or the Last” is a highlight with Massive Synthesizers. I can see a cocaine-crazed Keith Emerson lunging a knife into his B3, his Arp and his Moog here. Imagine the sound without the twirling stage and the laser light show.



This is ‘70s FM radio prog rock before it became ridiculous, crossed with ‘80s British psychedelia. Interesting chord patterns and songs that break out of the box are featured here. Again, Parasol has a winner" POPMATTERS.COM review . BUY "GOLDEN BLUE" AT CD BABY.
