Corner Store reviews

“I like the acoustic passages on this track, On Bended Knee. Right from the off there was the scent of invention from what is a gentle, almost quiet sound. Reminds me so much of NZ's the Bats and David’s voice just bolsters that. This is an artist still dealing nuggets which I'm guessing he has done all his career. Great to hear that the twinkle in the eye is as sparkling as ever.” -- Kevin Hugger-  Fluence,  Dublin, Ireland

"On Bended Knee, The shimmery vibe and energy here works well.”--Wake the Deaf United Kingdom 

​

" (69)This has a really nice rock sound, very classic."-- Big Bad Buckle, USA

Down in Smoke reviews

(Rings & Pearls) "There is just so much energy going on here, noises in the foreground, background and the sense that Bowie could be back amongst us because there is a glamour and rock rhapsody that churns and churns before hitting that moment where a chorus emerges and all that nervous energy starts to make sense. This is a tune that is high in nostalgia but the songwriting is strong." Kevin Hugger--Fluence, Dublin Ireland

Organic House wrote: "Hey David! Really nice evolving pads here and what a great stereo imaged mix and guitar! Really cool! (Catnapping)

mp3hugger wrote: "You always know you are going to get something beyond the ordinary with David Gale, an emotional resonance that persists long beyond the length of the tune. And, there is soul here too (Catnapping).

A really fine album, David. It's impeccably produced and masterfully executed. This is not simply a one- or two-hit wonder surrounded by filler, either. The deeper one dives into it, the more one is rewarded with varied grooves and styles. R Patetta

My Placebo reviews

​

"Cool track, nice vocals and sounds very unique." ElvisDrew Playlist

​

​

"I like the guitar work here, and the melodies have a bit of Peter Gabriel, and Cold Play to them." Kaaoszine

​

"Beautifully done and elaborated music track, with an original sound, and vocals are very gentle with beautiful intonations. I find the work to be very creative and original." Anton Panasiuk

​

"Nice vocals and love the Bowie influences. Love your style. It is a really cool indie rock tune." Pep Garcia

​

"Emotive vocal soaring, gearing into dexterous guitar tones, amidst the lush synth backing, plays grippingly. I enjoyed the sophisti-pop feeling on this track." Obscure Sound

​

​

"Great track here with some wonderful ideas and a really nice jazzy mix with 80s rock and hints of David Bowie that I absolutely loved! Great ideas, really nice instrumentation and a great vocal performance too with a nice tone and phrasing. Loved the guitars too!" Synthwave Sounds

​

​

"A very slick and charming blend of 80s pop and rock combined in a nice fun way. Awesome vocals."  We All Want Someone to Shout For Playlist

​

​

"Hey, this is a lovely upbeat track, strong vocals and an engaging arrangement. The lead guitar straight in gives a rock pop vibe."  Catbear

​

"Now that is getting with an 80s sound, with a guaranteed audience for such things - especially when they are arranged with such gusto by David Gale it makes for a funky old time of it. My Placebo is a good deal removed from what I'd usually treat myself to but with echoes of Bowie throughout there is a glamour to what David Gale does and it is totally occupied throughout. " mp 3hugger

​

​

"The songwriting is awesome, and those vocals are truly stellar, great work."  Rogue VHS

​

"Hi, thanks for submitting. This is well done and to be honest refreshing to hear someone pulling from Bowie and Gabriel and that side of the 80's instead of the countless Joy Division clones we receive. Good song, but we are going to pass on it because we only have 10 weekly spots and receive about 10 times that in submissions, so a song has to be a home run on a kind of instinctual level to make the cut. Unfortunately this was more of a solid base hit. We like it but it just didn't connect on that deeper level that we're looking for. " Postcard Elba

​

"Nice progressive rock, good vocal, and old school vibe." E:\music\

Thin White Wall Reviews

" Beautiful melancholic song - we were impressed by the intimate and up-close atmosphere you created here, inviting the listener to listen to your honest and authentic lyrics. This has both a romantic and melancholic feel, lovely string arrangement. The instrumental is minimalistic yet still underlined the feelings delivered through lyrics while not taking away too much attention from them."  Thesoundof

"You have an eccentric and charismatic vocal tone, bringing a distinct touch to the more nostalgic performance." Indy Space

"Amazing tracks, full of beatiful sound choices..adding this to my personal favourites playlist. Unfortunately It doesn't fit sad mellow vibe of the playlist, altough the voice is touching!" Aesthetic Playlist

I really appreciate the strings arrangement, the acoustic guitar part and the use of synths ""ASTRAL

"! Thanks for the submission of Thin White Wall. I love the velvety quality of your voice which just flows so smoothly in your song, creating a captivating and alluring sound." 

Playlist Picasso
