    Minor complaints aside, Hardcourage is an excellent effort, and, if the crossover attempts prove successful, it just might be the album that gets a wider audience talking about FaltyDL.

    He works in a middle ground, neither minimal or elaborate, making strong impressions by getting pushy. That’s what follows seduction.

    It was always hard to predict which direction he might take next, but on his new album, Hardcourage, he’s surprised us by finally bringing all those disparate tangents together into a cohesive sound.

    It sounds like like a lot of learning and a lot of loving went into this album, and the result is FaltyDL at his most open.

    Nothing is too self-consciously retro. [Feb 2013, p.71]

    With Hardcourage, FaltyDL proves that he still has an endless arsenal of tricks up his sleeve; it's just what he chooses to wear on said sleeve that makes all the difference.

    A frustratingly slow-burning listen.
