    It's quite fair to say that whatever is lost here in interesting experimental moments is made up for by enveloping production details which, when combined with his often unconventional musical choices, propel the record into an accomplishment that stands on its own.

    Like his last album, Leaning Over Backwards, A Series of Shocks is rich and spatially ambitious.

    Fluttering, arpeggiated melodies, ice-crisp percussion and muscular beats mean tracks like Ya Po kick hard and linger long on the palette. [May 2014, p.93]

    A Series of Shocks shoots for a different kind of looping hypnotism but lands slightly short.
