“listening to northern English band The Steals is like hearing something for the first time which you just know, instinctively, is going to become a part of your life for years to come… This is a breathtakingly brilliant album”.. …[TERRASCOPE] “Static Kingdom is an astonishing record” ….[SIDEWAYS THROUGH SOUND] “Heavenly, Wild, Loneliness on CD” …[BLOOM] “A beautiful album, informed by folky notions that reminisce of travellers and pre-show gazed innocence, washed in electric instruments, equally swirling in echoes” …..[MANCHESTER MUSIC] “'Static Kingdom' shows off The Steals' mesmerising ambient psych-folk and fire-haired front woman, Jayn Hanna's simmering space-blues voice” …[TIME OUT- LONDON] “The Steals are led by Jayn Hanna whos haunting vocals float over a surprisingly full down tempo sound…… part Gothic, part psych-folk, and part drifting lullabye. Headphones and this will either blow your mind or put you to sleep (in a good way), you decide.” [SLOWCOUSTIC ] “The Steals follow up their 2006 EP Floodlights with eight songs that expand their palette of mysterious pysch-folk with emotive skill. Co-produced by Mark Peters of acclaimed band Engineers, the recording sessions saw them relocate to sun-kissed San Francisco …… the vocalist Jayn Hanna, a veritable folk princess with her long, red tresses and fey appearance, her voice will no doubt capture their audience” .
