Mar 1, 2016The album traverses a rich genre spectrum and incorporates contrasting moods and atmospheres that make for an exciting listen.
-
Feb 29, 2016Convenanza is essentially a good time record, a celebration that looks back, but doesn’t forget to put its best foot forward too.
-
Feb 25, 2016Through it all, in the music and in Weatherall’s characterful vocals, Public Image Limited is a clear influence. The album is at its best, though, at its most cosmic.
-
MojoFeb 24, 2016There's a pleasing, ad hoc nature to these loose-limbed grooves. [Mar 2016, p.97]
-
Q MagazineFeb 24, 2016All told, it's a mighty tasty spread. [Apr 2016, p.117]
-
UncutFeb 24, 2016Convenanza is only Weatherall's second album, but it feels as if he's been making this fantastic, moody music all his life. [Apr 2016, p.82]
-
Mar 16, 2016His singing, an acquired taste, could have been used more sparingly. Nevertheless, his odd chants keep the weirdness levels appropriately high, and we wouldn't want it any other way.
-
The WireMar 8, 2016Likeable but fairly forgettable listen. [Feb 2016, p.57]
-
Mar 4, 2016Convenanza naturally operates best when Weatherall stays away from the mic.
-
Feb 29, 2016The results are perfectly listenable, but it feels like Weatherall’s coasting a little here.
-
Feb 24, 2016Weirdly though, on his first solo record in nearly six years, it’s when everything is piled up together, when all the faders sound as if they are turned up, that the record is at its best.
-
Feb 26, 2016Convenanza regularly dips into a bag of tried and tested moves that are little more than default settings: dubby basslines, plenty of space, echoes, jazzy trumpets that sound like deflating balloons and so on.
