"Another great album from UMO. They're really great at mining totally fresh sounds by deconstructing various genres and pinching elements from all over the place. Hunnybee might be my favourite song of the year so far." Reply

"Evoking dream-pop atmospherics and an undercurrent of psychedelia, Holter expands upon the aesthetics of Julianna Barwick's 'The Magic Place', to create an album that in many ways is not unlike a postmodern amalgam of 'Desertshore', 'Lorca' and 'Rock Bottom'. The sound of piano and harpsicord all..." [+] Reply
"Absolutely fantastic! I have nothing in my collection like this so far! This is the music I am looking for and I'm sure it will only get better on further listens. From We Want War I knew I was onto something special and it holds up as a very good album all the way throughout. Well deserved the p..." [+] Reply

"This album is the result of a grueling amount of crap that Matthew Houck (aka Phosphorescent) had to go through following the release of “Here’s To Taking It Easy". According to him, he lost his girlfriend, was worn down by the road, and lost his place in New York. It had worn him down to almost ..." [+] Reply

"Here's another former "lo-fi" artist who has since embellished his work masterfully in the studio. i like the horns, especially the spazzy-jazzy horns at the end of "2011 best track" long-play nominee "your fake name is good enough for me", or the playful horns in "big burned hand"." Reply

"I just assumed everybody was hyping this back in the day for no good reason, but now that I've finally taken the trouble to hear the whole thing all the way through, I have to admit... it really does sound like nothing I've ever heard before. I suspect they're using a lot of backwards-masking and..." [+] Reply

"This is one of my favorite bands of the 2010's and this album is one of their best. It's a concept album and it's very long but that doesn't do it any bad because there is always something interesting to discover here. At a first listen you would mistake this for a hardcore album but in fact it's..." [+] Reply

"Nothing particularly special here, but if you're looking to groove to some old school soul, this is a go to album. Imo some of the tracks felt a little empty, but overall it was decent. 7/10 Fav Tracks: Brown Skin Girl, Shine, Twistin' & Groovin', River" Reply
"The concept and aesthetic of this album could of easily collapsed into a self-ingulgent pretension mess, but thankfully this is not the case. A truly terrifying and brutally sincere performance." Reply
