    Sun-dappled and introspective, O Avalanche is a delight. [Dec 2024, p.108]

    It’s cinematic and magical and stands as some of Fionn’s most captivating and compelling work to date.

    The familiar finger-picking textures and soft-sung romantic paeans of 2019’s Cala have been superseded by an almost ghostly atmosphere, as echo-swathed, lysergic-sounding reveries evoke spellbinding romantic visions. [Dec 2024, p.37]

    It’s all very sedate and relaxing, and while that works beautifully throughout the album, sometimes you just want to hear Regan turn it up a notch. Yet, maybe that’s not the point – it’s possibly Headphones that sums up the album’s ethos, a song about being literally wrapped up in music, and it’s that immersion that O Avalanche is best experienced in.

    It is gorgeous in the way a hotel painting is – very pleasant to look at once or twice but not to ponder for too long, an autumnal soundtrack whose glow fades like leaves. [Dec 2024, p.93]
