Every note of this album is saturated with a very particular melancholy that keeps these spacey songs closely anchored to the earth. [Apr 2020, p.28]- Uncut

The lyrics are presented with such conviction that it becomes quietly devastating. Rather like Swamp Dogg himself. [Apr 2020, p.24]- Uncut

A set of 12 colour-saturated, avant electronic-soul tracks, where Sumney's extraordinary voice is strong, clear and central to the mix rather than one element of it. [Apr 2020, p.37]- Uncut

A joyous album, one that doesn't wander off along unnecessary tangents and keeps their indulgence in check. [Apr 2020, p.29]- Uncut

The wry, heartfelt "Cash Up" and truly touching "Amberjack" are highlights; that he exits on the breezy, sardonic bonus track "Juliefuckingette" is a reminder, though, that yes, it's still Malkmus. [Apr 2020, p.30]- Uncut

An audaciously original album - a bedroom-laptop fever dream from a parallel universe. [Apr 2020, p.33]- Uncut

This set traces a downward trajectory toward disco, but every album has its highlights. [Mar 2020, p.47]- Uncut

A cornucopia of delights from a band with an unerring ear for melody, undervalued in their heyday. [Mar 2020, p.49]- Uncut

If there are occasions when the rugged soloing gets a little bogged down in detail, there are many others where the trio achieve moments of adrenalising magic.- Uncut

Out Of My Province retains the earthen quality of her previous works, but with an added confidence, her words enunciated with a newfound assurance. [Apr 2020, p.22]- Uncut

Heavy Light is no one-note affair. ... Artfully honest songs. [Apr 2020, p.36]- Uncut

It's clear Masin has not catered to his new hipster audience but rather remained true to his elemental vision. [Mar 2020, p.33]- Uncut

Listeners seeking more of those exquisite harmonies are well served by glorious opening track "Silver," among others. [Apr 2020, p.35]- Uncut

Touches of stoner metal in "Four Strangers Enter The Cement At Dusk" or a deeper psychedelic bent on "Harsho" offer variety, but the name of the game is sheer glee. [Apr 2020, p.37]- Uncut

A poignant folk-jazz take on Billie Holiday's "God Bless The Child" is the standout and it's all impeccably tasteful - but in a threadbare kind of way. [Apr 2020, p.37]- Uncut

What it sometimes lacks in surprise, it makes up for in consistency. [Mar 2020, p.30]- Uncut

Cray's oft-overlooked voice croons with rare tenderness over the Bobby "Blue" Bland cut "You're The One," and there's a spiky funk to Don Gardner's "My Baby Likes To Boogaloo." But Cray's own compositions are just as striking. [Apr 2020, p.26]- Uncut

Not so much an electronic supergroup, more a retro-futurist sonic museum. It uses Benge's collection of antique analogue synthesisers to create some pulsating dance music. [Apr 2020, p.37]- Uncut

There's another clutch of great Real Estate songs on this gentle delight, and some clues as to where the group could go next, if they chose to really stretch out and see what else their songs could do. [Apr 2020, p.34]- Uncut

Mostly it's ambient background music in search of a movie, but standout moments include the sinister Marricone guitars on "The Prairie" and the distorted tablas and minimalistic vibraphones on "Damascene Slap." [Mar 2020, p.33]- Uncut

Suggest the euphoria of whooshing through infinite space past astral displays of imagined beauty via a blend of disco funk, dream pop, electronic exotica and '70s highlife. [Apr 2020, p.33]- Uncut

Lyrically, the rose-tinted specs are off but sonically it has a romantic, decidedly retro bent, with reverb and (fine) vocal harmonies wrapped around songs that recall Shangri-Las, a stripped-back Lush and a less morose Cowboy Junkies. [Mar 2020, p.33]- Uncut
