    Edmunds has always delivered, whatever the age and circumstances. And this batch of originals and covers, recorded in full do-it-himself mode, doesn't change that. [Feb 2014, p.91]

    • 80 Critic Score
    [The album,] at first, seems suffused in the same late-summer glow as The Beach Boys' low-key '68 LP Friends. But this brightness soon fades, the album becoming a beautifully solitary journey into night. [Feb 2014, p.95]

    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Locating a broken, but still-beating heart within metallic machine music, East India Youth's debut is a triumph. [Feb 2014, p.97]

    • 80 Critic Score

    Chiaroscuro is the contrast between light and dark in visual art, and I Break Horses' second album is similarly conflicted. [Feb 2014, p.97]
    • Mojo
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Moon ultimately suffers from a surfeit of wistful syrup. [Feb 2014, p.95]

    An unusual 35 minutes, then, but Confection makes the perfect background for an evening of sophisticated seduction. [Feb 2014, p.95]
    • Mojo
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Rather than being derivative, this album is a perfect pop balance of cliche and rawness, with mythic ambition and songs that make you a three-minute hero. [Feb 2014, p.95]
    • Mojo
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    • 78 Metascore

    Comparatively standard tunes such as To And Fro prevent Strong Feelings from being an unconditional classic, but that's tantamount to dismissing Toronto's CN Tower as a bit pointy. [Feb 2014, p.91]
