THE SKINNY ★★★★★
"A stirring confessional, a thrilling musical evolution, and an inch away from perfect. If that."

SO WHAT "Hypnotic and enveloping" PENNYBLACKMUSIC "You can't really categorise any of this because it has a sound of its own. And then there is that voice... " ECHOES & DUST "This is all about the attention to detail. Masterful, painterly, impressionist strokes of sound boldly placed across your aural canvas. Seemingly simple at first, yet delightfully nuanced at every step." MUSIC WON'T SAVE YOU "angular chamber music with dream-pop variations" MITHRA "An album that can not be ignored ...." |
