"Simply one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. Like going around with a gentle giant who knows all the answers and has favorite star constellations. You feel you can say things to him even though he may not have had a saintly past. The music here works wonders. An album I could get in..." [+] Reply

"“Dawn FM” really goes full in on the synthwave sound. Abel abandons the slow drifting electronics of “After hours” for more vibrant, energetic synths. This newfound energy gives his voice a welcome boost. The vigor of the tracks helps cover up odd moments like the strange English accent that appe..." [+] Reply

"My favourite album from one of my favourite bands. So many catchy pop tunes on here, mixed in with some really deep lyrics. They do seem to be quite a marmite band and I do understand why, but I am still surprised this isn't ranked higher on the overall chart. My favourites are Warm Healer, The W..." [+] Reply

"I am so glad to see others acknowledging this album as a criminally underrated classic. It's in a weird place of history for the band, and served as a transition into what they would be known for, and people seemed to write it off because they assume it was just the band testing the waters of pro..."
