    Inventive, swinging, dud-free and very musical: terrific entertainment by any standards. [Mar 2016, p.94]

    Barry Adamson has often broadcast his affinity with tortured individuals at breaking point. This has found raw expression in his solo work, and Know Where To Run does not deviate from the script. [Mar 2016, p.105]

    Despite its noir inflections, it’s a lighter, at times impish, and vibrantly melodic, album. Wherever it takes us, we’re likely to enjoy the ride.

    Some of the retro-crooner murder ballads risk straying into cliché, but there are inspired sound-collage experiments here too.

    His eighth sticks largely to the template. [Mar 2016, p.69]

    So long as you can tolerate the musical hopscotch that a Barry Adamson album always represents, Know Where To Run is probably as good an introduction to this peripatetic musician as you're ever likely to need. Just make sure to expect the unexpected.
