    Florence isn’t Hayman’s most ambitious or thrilling work ever, but it’s not supposed to be. A moment’s rest can work wonders on a tired soul.

    As delicate as these songs are in terms of construction (simple guitar parts, barely-there percussion and Hayman’s vocals--it’s the first album he’s done as a truly solo artist) they really pack a punch.

    Its delicately observed song cycle unfolds like a novella or short film, with tracks that might seem slight isolation gaining resonance in situ. [Dec 2015, p.108]

    Hayman’s lyrics, vocals and musicianship add up to a frequently touching whole. One wonders though if the presence of others has previously helped smooth out any little wrinkles.

    Florence is another excellent addition to Darren Hayman’s sterling oeuvre.
