    New Threats From the Soul is jam-packed with arresting turns of phrase, but never flounders under their weight—each witticism feels earned and essential rather than shoehorned or self-indulgent. Instead, each line contributes to an exhaustive document of how extensively heartache blurs our lenses—how we find it everywhere, in everything. How it finds us.

    He lays it all bare for those just not brave enough to come to terms. We’re world-weary, yes, but transcendence can be found in any number of places, including the simple patterns of everyday life.

    Choruses swell gorgeously but unpredictably out of the continual wordplay and there's occasional moments of musical reverie. [Sep 2025, p.79]

    Even after listening to this album on repeat for the past month or so, it still feels like there’s plenty of corners to explore and riches to uncover.

    The more we listen, as the images and phrases and grooves swim past, we're glimpsing pieces of a private puzzle, an exhilarating series of riddles with no answers. [Sep 2025, p.50]
