“Already a regular artist on The Other Side Reviews, UK-based singer-songwriter 1.0.8. has become a firm favourite of ours. From his EP Nine Times Twelve to the single ‘Devotion’, Andrew Stewart is a boundary-breaking musician oozing sophistication in his sound. While 1.0.8. describes the inspiration behind ‘Creature’ as awe-inspiring, I have to say that this tune is pretty awe-inspiring as well. Delving into the contemporary lifestyle of yesteryear, ‘Creature’ brings life to these reflective pieces in a modern-day music scene.”
OTHER SIDE REVIEWS – Nicole Mendes

MP3 HUGGER
“Creature” is one of those songs that emanates cinematic images from its intro. By the way, what a release! One of the most impactful of recent times… What a masterful song “Creatures” is, will inevitably conspire to the massive growth of the 1.0.8 name. for the planet! The tribal beat carries the powerful instrumental that permeates through several seventies incisions, such as psychedelia and heavy alternative textures in its discourse. The incredible vocals, full of vigour in the driving of the narrative…! “Creatures” exudes an extremely particular personality, sounding unique in its artistic prognosis. In fact, the concept of music exasperates by the deepest dimensions in his research, permeating an absurdly attractive and unusual artistic work. An absolutely SENSATIONAL song!”
“it has a suitably uncomfortable feel about it, as if it is hold a mirror up to the world, the good and the bad.”
