"Love this strategy of having 12 songs that are all good and interesting, performances that are tight and dynamic, and production that's organic and warm and punchy. More artists should try this because it might make their music good." Reply

"To be honest I truly thought she would go even further into the classical sound and that's the only non-positive thing I will say about this album. When she released Motomami I thought to myself wow how is she gonna top that? She'll have to divert to a totally different direction and still delive..." [+] Reply

"It's pretty common that a reunion album from a group that has been away from a while ends up being a bit of a let down but this isn't the case with Jarvis Cocker and friends' first LP for 24 years. A thoroughly entertaining listen from front to back which has everything that made the band appeali..." [+] Reply

Could imagine drifting along the fast lane of the autobahn, thinking of spent sun ..." [+] Reply

"What a great surprise! I didn’t have big expectations, since I wasn’t that into their first two albums. But this one, I fell in love with.

"Beautifully written, sung and performed. Abigail Morris is one the finest vocalists in modern music. A buffet for the ears" Reply
"McKinley Dixon has come into his own as one of music's most thoughtful emcees. The heart and soul that he puts into his work shines through in every bar, every beat, and every minute detail is stunning. It's a joy to experience his music" Reply
