Texas Music Magazine -
“In a word, damn! Austin’s Nathan Hamilton was always “good”- good in the way you would hope any singer-songwriter with a Kerrville New Folk win to their name would be. But who knew he could be great? That’s not meant as a backhanded compliment; it’s just a real (and welcome) kick in the butt when an artist you think you’ve got all sized up throws you off guard by quietly releasing a record that rocks on the level of Six Black Birds. “Even the sweetest of saints/show their teeth sometimes,” Hamilton sings on “Teeth”- a perfect metaphor for the album’s secret weapon: Billy Brent Malkus, the Texas Sapphires guitarist whose jagged leads lend the whole record a bite worthy of James McMurtry’s Heartless Bastards.
But Hamilton’s songs here cut just as deep, and when all the elements- killer rhythm section and B3 included- lock together perfectly on the title track or for the album’s five minute, gear grinding, tour de force centerpiece, aptly titled “The Cut”, the result wreaks unholy hell on your CD or MP3 player’s repeat button. Of course, not every track here carries the same undeniable swagger; some of them take a stealthier approach. But the tension never lets up until the very end. By the time Six Black Birds winds down to its closing grace note, the acoustic guitar strum and quietly reflective tone of “Hanging On” feels like a deep sigh after surviving a thrilling knife fight. - Richard Skanse Texas Music Magazine”

"A little gem from a new voice to me; a quick check on the web reveals that this Austin-based performer is, in fact, about ten years into his career and that Receive will be his fifth release. Starting from country/folk roots he has apparently moved more towards an indie rock sound. Well there\'s certainly plenty evidence of a rock edge and drive here, but his roots are certainly showing, too. Just seven songs of high quality combine a Guy Clark-like fondness for characters and story-telling with a very twenty-first century musical approach. Three tracks of random radio stuff ("reception#1", etc)... make the songs seem like random unknown voices from the ether too. Bags of atmosphere are conjured from some pretty sparse ingredients; Nathan\'s warm, slightly fractured vocal on Cinders is sung right up against the mike and supported by an arrangement of great delicacy shot through with steel - reminiscent, I suppose, of one of Lou Reed\'s painfully intimate songs. If Cinders was on your mp3 and popped up out of the blue I think you\'d have to stop what you were doing to drink it all in.
