    Seamus Fogarty's songs are sparse affairs with banjo, guitars, cellos and electronics framing pithy, observational lyrics. ... There's poignancy too. [Jan 2021, p.87]

    Third albums can be tricky, but for Fogarty, this is a challenge he grasps with both hands, coming up with an all-encompassing record that explores many musical possibilities.

    The results are mostly knotty and easy to get caught up in, though it closes on a spare arrangement of the traditional folksong "My Boy Willie" -- on which Fogarty still leaves his distinct mark.

    The songs are fine, the lyrics are striking, but there’s nothing to break your heart.

    Its songs run more freely and push at greater abstraction, without losing melodic strength. [Jan 2021, p.27]
