‘The scot who once achieved with Hobotalk some of the most delicate, indulgent folk-pop songs of all time, as Arksong has finally made a record again and on This blessed unrest the most beautiful proof that songwriting is like riding a bike you don’t lose it.’ Rolling Stone Magazine, Germany

Arksong This Blessed Unrest.  "The magic of the voice from the lonely Highlands has lost nothing of its effect...His songs bring something very rare into our souls: peace." FAQ Magazine Germany

 "A troubadour of the old school, there’s no one in contemporary music with a voice quite like his. Yet drop Pilley into a Greenwich Village coffee house in the early Sixties and he would have been totally at home with Tim Hardin and John Stewart. His gently crafted melodies, lyrical romanticism and yearning voice are timeless, not retro, and if at his sweetest he veers towards the sentimentality of Neil Diamond, the tendency is entirely forgivable." - The Times

"Pilley is an extraordinary songwriter and a charismatic performer, the kind of musician who only comes along once in a blue moon." -Scotland on Sunday

 "Still volcano-y in producing those heart-striking tunes and still owning a soul-melting voice ."- Rainsound.net
