    Confident, confessional pop from masters of the craft. [Jan 2026, p.103]

    Ehrlich’s resplendent falsetto is still at the centre of everything, but there’s a serious depth here in the writing that elevates the material above the group’s previous two albums.

    Ultimately, Small Talk is about embracing life without bitterness and finding renewal in the smallest moments. It doesn’t try to surprise you; it tries to stay with you. That, in its modest, luminous way, is what makes it beautiful.

    Back to their homespun, unforced, relatably human roots. [Dec 2025, p.37]

    Equally appropriate for heartbroken solitude, low-key hangouts, or peaceful Sunday afternoons, even at its most conflicted Small Talk feels like a warm embrace.

    There’s a wholesome vocal harmony here, a poignant flute and jazzy, syncopated drum beat there, and an overall comfortable atmosphere to make the forlorn subject matter go down a bit easier.
