    This sense of place and space in Futures makes its suite of sumptuous love songs doubly poignant, turns them into glorious moments of both clarity and giddy disorientation amid the impending decay and desperation of time and events beyond the back door, the darkness glimpsed out on the horizon. The songs don't emerge as 'crafted' at all, rather you can't quite believe they didn't always exist in this form.

    Futures is just as lovely as his admirers could have hoped. [Jan 2016, p.73]

    It captures the best aspects of their past, while sounding like dream pop perfection in the present and promising more good things for the future.

    A rebirth that's actually been worth the wait. [Jan 2016, p.]
