    While the variety of styles and approaches on display is mesmerising if not dizzying, the cuts on Yowzers feel as if they truly belong together, connected by an intangible thread – a sensibility which eclipses pure aesthetics and bridges concepts, worlds, and compositions across boundaries.

    Yowzers is Gay’s most cohesive work to date, while losing none of its predecessors’ spirit of adventure. [Jul 2025, p.59]

    Gay's treacly voice and keening cornet pierce the static on another initially oblique musical jigsaw, whose pieces begin to fit after a few listens. [Aug 2025, p.85]

    In both rhythm and spirit, Yowzers is slippery and free. Yet where the record coalesces into songs, it tends to speak the raw, direct language of soul music and the blues. [Aug 2025, p.36]

    Yowzers is a tighter, more intimate affair, an invitation into the inner circle.
