Jun 23, 2016There’s less dusty American rock here and more night-sky prettiness, with an emphasis on piano and Craft’s melodies recalling British folk traditions as well as US ones.

MojoJun 20, 2016Blood Moon seems like Craft's real start, and one of the most exquisite soul-searching odysseys of this or any year. [Jul 2016, p.93]
-
Jun 20, 2016With its emphasis on exploring atmosphere over the artful, structured pop of his prior releases, Blood Moon stands alone in Craft's discography to date. Recommended for late-night introspection whether under shelter or, even better, lying out under the stars.

Jun 20, 2016Sonically, however, Blood Moon stands alone as a perfectly judged synthesis of conventional songwriting skills and detailed, cinematic music that revels in the silence between the notes. Superb.

Jun 20, 2016Craft’s intention is to take the listener “off into the clear night of Joshua Tree” and there are certainly moments when he achieves that. It’s not quite the same Joshua Tree of Gram Parsons or U2 but that’s the thing about deserts--they bring you up against yourself.
