Praise for Faith & Science:

"strong, instantly memorable tunes" (USA Today website)

"All The Time In The World is the best song Crowded House never recorded while the haunting piano-driven Set Me Up would have restored Mr. [David] Gray's chart fortunes in a heartbeat. Elsewhere the alt-country of Always Be On Your Side should give Ryan Adams cause to pause and re-examine how great he thinks he is." (The Daily Telegraph, Australia)

"Nicholson assembles an impressive record of perfectly-penned and flawlessly-produced tracks, all shiny and ready for radio." (Time Magazine)

"there is no denying that he knows how to write a strong melody and capture that all-important pop vibe that keeps listeners wanting more...Faith & Science is undoubtedly his best release so far...he succeeds in delivering a moving and at times brilliant album" (Drum Media, Australia)

"Beautiful guitar melodies and stunning vocals" (Minneapolis Star Tribune)

"Nicholson's music is evocative and amiably cosmic without taking himself too seriously...Nicholson's come up with alternative pop that's lyrical and unforgettable." (Santa Monica Mirror)

"Nicholson knows how to craft a song full of downbeat, introspective lyrics and pop hooks, then deliver it with just the right combination of weariness and intensity...This one showcases Nicholson's songwriting and slightly worn vocal style and in doing so introduces an artist worth hearing to America." (Lincoln Journal Star)

"The poetic imagery of songs like "Designed to Fade" sweep across emotional landscapes and lead the listener by the heart. Considering It's A Movie is his debut release, one can expect a bright future for Shane Nicholson." (One Way Magazine)
