    Carr has always wanted to create his very own sound, and for the first time we are starting to hear it here.

    The results are strangely disorientating and at times Carr's brittle, acoustic sketches are smothered by skull-jarring percussion. [Sep 2004, p.92]

  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    40
    With only three 'songs' to speak of here, 'All Watched Over...' smacks of another great British songwriter having their melodic nous chewed away by electro-moths. [7 Aug 2004, p.49]

    Were he only able to drop the naff drum machines, this would be a classier piece of classicism all round. [Sep 2004, p.117]

  6. Stylus Magazine

    There’s an obvious self-assurance on AWOBMOLG that’s been increasingly evident on his recent EP releases; a sense of things coming together and evolving into a sound that seems unhurried, unprompted and, best of all, natural.
  7. The Guardian

    It's certainly a fact that he currently errs on the side of tweeness.
  8. Uncut
    40
    Carr's ambitions outrun his abilities. [Sep 2004, p.98]
