    When friends come over, I put this on towards the end of the evening, and invariably end up writing the artist and title on a scrap of paper, so that they can go off to buy it the following day. An emotonally generous set of songs and, by any criteria, a sensational debut.

  1. The results breathe that same rarefied air as Nick Drake or Vashti Bunyan.
  2. It’s an atmospheric and tender record, and although you have to wait for each line you never lose patience.
  3. Pulling every sound to its limit, Adem’s debut is glorious in its scope, maintaining a contemplative stride through bare instrumentation.
