Banjo player Victor Tomiczek said in a promo video that MacDougall would “bring in a skeleton of a song, and the rest of the band would give it a heart, skin, and vital organs” [2] Reviews for You Will Land With A Thud were generally good amongst blog reviewers, with one review saying it “bridges generation gaps and defies musical clichés”.
