    Being really excited to hear this album, it would be an understatement to say I'm disappointed. The first two songs, which are the singles, make for a beautiful opening to an otherwise boring and bland album.

    In the past this rage was intrinsic, wounds covered with cheery sugar, but now there is emotional distance at the core of Heavy Light, filled with others’ voices. Whether or not a deliberate choice, through this transformation the album loses some of its potency and ability to affect. [Jun 2020, p.59]

    Interesting, unique ideas squandered by a lack of blossoming. The album's vibe is maybe best exemplified in the three skits where we get snippets of people asked broad questions, and their responses are layered over each other.

    Heavy Light confirms a major talent.
