"Michael Rattray’s 'Silent Battles' E. P. is one that on the surface shows no signs of life having ever taken a shot at this fantastic musician, however dig deeper, find the empathy needed to hear beyond the surface and the skin and the beauty of the music bleeds through in time with the lyrical observations like expensive red wine being poured slowly from the open neck and into the half-full glass beneath. It is a glass that has been cut and adorned with care, the flow steady and to the point and in the end is one that you cannot but help raise in salute to the master behind the thought".
"Human Life is bookended with perfect piteous and melancholic impact. In the wonderfully emotionally-drenched opener Michael gets straight to the nub, “Oh, universe, what to do with this brain / I don’t wanna know the sunshine from the rain again….” ‘New Shoots’, Getting Up’ and in particular ‘Porcelain’ are album highlights, all sung with incredibly passionate fragility and backed by perfect, simple guitar. These songs are far more than sad ballads, as well as hitting the senses hard they are brilliantly melodic and impeccably performed".
