"A solid contender for Pop AOTY. The production is definitely the highlight, but the singer's voice is good too. So versatile and malleable with every song. This is very interesting stuff, im excited to see what more this band/collective comes up with. That baby sneeze bit in Nobody Cares gets me ..." [+] Reply

"Really this works so much better than it should. Sounding like a monster hybrid of Chvrches, Beach House, Dillon, Melody's Echo Chamber and latter-day Bjork, this should be a sappy, ungainly mess, but for such a young band they show a remarkable grasp of all the seemingly incongrunt material and ..."

"Stylistically, it is another left hook in the bands massive discography. And might be there most quiet record in there collection. However, even when I can tell there is effort within this project I feel a little underwhelmed by it. I know dislike me to oblivion. But that's how I feel. Do want to..." [+] Reply

"Really digging Ty’s forays into jazz fusion, just like on last year’s self-entitled album. However I still prefer the latter release. That’s not to say that this one isn’t some high-octane, white knuckle, adrenaline pumping shit too. Because it is! It’s yet another moment of freaky garage brillia..." [+] Reply

"A terrific singer-songwriter album. It's pretty dark and introspective and makes an excellent headphones or solitary listen in the dark, with coffee and/or alcohol. Night Shift is one of the best songs I've heard this year." Reply

"Underrated. Two days after "Endless" was released, "Blonde" came out and the world circled around that brilliant album, disregarding "Endless" completely. However, even though it could be his weakest album, this may well be his most interesting piece of work out of his whole career. It veers from..." [+] Reply
"I love artists who name check their heritage , bands such as Wilco (Chicago) , The Replacements (Minnesota) and The Go-Betweens (Brisbane) quickly come to mind and now you can add Melbourne's R.B.C.F to the list with the wonderful 'Hope Downs' with these examples: Track 1: "An Air-Conditioned Man..."

"Having never heard any of his music, I quite enjoyed this. It's a throwback to 90s/early 2000s music to my ears. The production is pretty loud, so there's not a whole lot of dynamics in the songs, but it's fun stuff. The second half is better, and the best songs are TV Stars, and 9/10. A nice alb..." [+] Reply
