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, 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.
-
Q MagazineJun 20, 2016A wonderful album that exists in its own little world. [#361, p.112]
-
UncutJun 20, 2016Everything flows and nothing jars, but Craft's soft voice and often orthodox songcraft makes Blood Moon merely pretty rather than stunning. [Jul 2016, p.73]
-
Jul 13, 2016Blood Moon is a quiet album made at a time when everything else churned out these days comes with pomp and circumstance at wake-the-dead volume levels.
-
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.
