Apr 8, 2013A Bad Wind is a meticulously crafted album.
-
Apr 8, 2013There's a disarming openness to the lyrics and a warmth to the arrangements that make this an album that rewards repeated listening.

UncutApr 8, 2013The results are extraordinary. [May 2013, p.76]

May 7, 2013What’s most disappointing about the album is how Ryder-Jones has almost completely abandoned taking any sonic risks. His vocal is dulled and rasping throughout, and the songs never blossom like those on If..., seemingly hamstrung by his limited range.
