    His penchant for flyaway drama is anchored by his winning way with a soaring melody. [Feb 2018, p.115]

    Ultimately, listeners who can embrace the idiosyncrasies of Rothman's voice and the throwback production (don't miss the Kristin Kontrol track, "Jordan," for that niche Casio-and-saxophone sound) will find an intriguing if hit-and-miss set of underlying songs with strokes of classic Brill Building and sophisti-pop.

    Tempting to ask for more of this dark night of the soul. [Jan 2018, p.94]

    While the album itself falls short. The ambition is admirable, but what makes the songs commendable is their refusal to thrive. They are deeply melancholic. There's a focus on Rothman's drug addiction itself rather than the desire to resolve it, a resignation to dying rather than a desire to learn how to live.

    Weird voice and an LP that is pleasant but not outstanding. I saw a little singer-songwriter with electronic touches here and there and a Folk bulk.

    Wonderfully eclectic album that I have found myself playing over and over again. Rothman's voice channels Mark Hollis meets Leonard CohenWonderfully eclectic album that I have found myself playing over and over again. Rothman's voice channels Mark Hollis meets Leonard Cohen meets Arthur Russell. The lyrics have a sadness and depth i have not heard in a long while. Bravo! Full Review »
