    Crunching rhythms, subtle brass, and tunes as intoxicating as a blood transfusion from Pete Doherty combine as he tells the tale of a disastrous year full of rat infestations, romantic strife and weight loss.

    A spacious, yet measured and surprisingly inspirational, midtempo dirge.

    Whilst not wholly unique,Golden Suits is undeniably individual--a wholehearted, open but personal space--built from imagination, memories, stories: what he knows and who he knows.

    As it stands, Golden Suits is a lovely record, but one that could benefit from loosening up a little.

    Truth is, it usually works the other way; next to this rich, peculiar music, Nicolaus' reticence to reveal too much leaves Golden Suits' story feeling a little unfinished.

    With contributions from one third of Grizzly Bear, lilting vocals and arpeggiated guitar chords are gracefully manifest. [Sep 2013, p.96]

    Golden Suits’ debut brims with great ingredients, but leaves us more excited about Nicolaus’ next effort.
