    A meeting of the minds that will satisfy and excite fans of either or both artists, Colours of Air is a testament to Morgan and English's artistry that grows richer with each listen.

    It’s as engaging a release as you could hope for. The melodic sheets adorning the surface offer enough solace for casual listeners whilst intrigued parties will locate heart-heavy layers if they lean in just a little. As you might expect from the steady hands at the tiller, this is a cortex-hugging drone record of beauty and depth. A soundtrack worthy of living your life to.

    Subtle, complex, and not always pacifying. [Mar 2023, p.32]

    This is an album about possibilities rather than parameters, and it's a highlight in both artists' recent catalogs.

    The album is lush and oblique—an approachable standout in two daunting catalogs.
