    It can get a bit overly conceptual, but Gone Now is so irresistibly joyful that it can be forgiven. [Aug 2017, p.100]

    We have Gone Now, which alternates in black-and-white fashion between intriguing and utterly flavorless.

    Gone Now makes it clear that he knows his way around a chorus--he often jumps right into them at the start of songs--but verses are strained and general while impulses are too often freely indulged, rather than examined and pulled apart in the hopes of building something that looks more like innovation than imitation.

But it is also very deep and replayable. I have listened to this album 40 times according to my Google Play log. It is also one of the most cohesive albums I've ever experienced. All of the tracks have a relationship with another through sound or lyrical reference. This level of depth and cohesion is something I've only ever experienced before from The National's albums.

    I love everything about this album and feel it is the most underrated album of this year.    … Full Review »
