    [Harcourt whets] our curiosity with this six-tracker which goes to the brink but never quite falls over the edge. [Feb 2014, p.96]

    Time of Dust is bleaker than his past work, marrying a dark heart with epic hooks and choruses like a darker Elbow.

    Balanced by bitter barbs at modern snivellers and shysters in Time of Dust itself, the result is a compact but concentrated dose of poison.

    A gorgeous noirish set of cinematic songs with a bittersweet emotional core.

    A sharp, stirring contrast to the delicate lustre of its 2012 predecessor, Back Into The Woods. [Feb 2014, p.76]

    Ed’s voice is at its finest--effortless and addictive. It makes you want to listen to this gem all over again.

    It doesn’t quite hang together in the way that an official Harcourt album does, acting instead as a kind of taster for things to come. Yet as aperitifs go, it’s pretty satisfying.

    A dusky delight.
