    Banned is brimming with great ideas and fascinating sound – moments of gorgeous melodicism and soulful playing, all dressed in vivid sonic poetry. Lightman and Jarvis’s voices blend, stack and play off each other beautifully. [Aug 2021, p.58]

    Some of its improvisations feel more impenetrable than others. But the album's unpredictable nature gives it some of its finest moments.

    Banned is stronger when the pair sound more invested, when the songs feel more composed and can unspool without as many distractions.
