Jun 24, 2014This is an album full of wistful, careworn emotions and a sense of quiet profundity.
-
Jun 5, 2014For a record that on first listen sounds so sparse, Await Barbarians is a trove of sentiment and intricacy.
-
Jun 20, 2014It’s a fine collection of intimate, slow-burning, understated songs.
-
Jun 9, 2014It's not without charm--the needle-jump static of 'Dolly And Porter' gently drives a sweet melody; stroboscopic flickers of synth make a gripping arrangement for 'Closer To The Elderly'--but too often it's just Taylor's fragile voice cooing drab, introspective mantras over sparse electric piano.

MojoJul 24, 2014Await Barbarians reminds of Alex Chilton or even Liam Hayes's earliest music as Plush. [Jul 2014, P.87]
-
Jun 23, 2014It may not be an album you’ll come back to again and again, but it shows off a refreshingly different side to Alexis Taylor.
-
Jun 5, 2014Intimate and involving doesn’t necessarily mean that the record is engaging, however, and some tracks wash over without an impression, ultimately making this feel like little more than an indulgent side-project.
