Time when you saved me Going back, it's not enough Telling the world you won't erase me This time I feel like a child Going back, it's not... See the rest of the song lyrics

    That Age of Transparency feels less like the collection of singles Anxiety was and more like the cohesive, momentous artistic statement his best work always suggested he's capable of.

    Age of Transparency is as emotionally compelling and musically creative a work as has been released this year.

    Age of Transparency is heady and dizzying, even more unpleasant than Anxiety at times, but it’s keyed in to the zeitgeist in a way that feels genuine, constructive even.

    Age of Transparency is that rare record that manages astonishing density without ever feeling crowded. The production swirls in the air like glitter in water, and it catches new light on each listen.

    Age of Transparency is his best album yet.

    The result is an album split between brilliant and head-scratching moments, and it's all a lot take in at once. Anxiety dressed up Ashin's neuroses in glossy textures, while Age Of Transparency lets them writhe all over the floor. Like his live show, it's thrilling, confusing and uncomfortable in equal measure.

    Nothing on this record is secure, but its transitions are hauntingly beautiful. It will not be for those who crave immediacy. Some tracks are far from an easy listen, but it was never meant to be.
