MojoAug 28, 2017Big, brave and laudably odd it is, then. [Oct 2017, p.93]
-
Sep 11, 2017Elytral may not be an easy record, but it is strangely affirmative and rewarding.
-
Sep 5, 2017Credit Epworth with eschewing any formula for the sake of instant accommodation. Music this intriguing, this intense, speaks volumes on its own.

Q MagazineAug 29, 2017All in all, a brooding and brilliant record. [Oct 2017, p.103]

Aug 28, 2017If the album’s remainder veers from hit to ho-hum, the Death In Vegas-ish bass pulse and deep-immersion dream-techno of Me Swimming offer clear hits of hypnotic electronica.

Aug 28, 2017Elytral is rarely a passive listen: Epworth’s maximalist approach means that every song throws up at least one surprising moment. Even the more pop-leaning tracks have uneasy elements.
-
Sep 5, 2017Elytral lacks the sort of direction or structure that linger in the mind, but has a delightful exploratory freedom, as seen in the sweet, warm analogue ambience of Surprise Yourself.
