Critical Acclaim

Without exception the songs of “Lullabies For Cynics” are stunningly good. This melting pot of talent has produced a truly first rate album you simply must hear. Uke Planet

The Small Change Diaries create poetic, acoustic songs with thought provoking lyrics and a heartfelt delivery.
Vents Magazine

‘Lullabies for Cynics’ is pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. The Small Change Diaries create a peppy fantasy world with folk, blues, gospel-style arrangements all while conveying the candied truth through their politically challenging lyrics. At a first listen it’s just camp fire sway ready lollipops and rainbows tunes but at the root there is depth there.
