    Their third album Horizon is mellifluous and pretty, with a rolling, tumbling quality that feels like a downhill race. [Jul 2019, p.57]

    It's striking to hear just how confident the trio now are, and how interwoven their playing is. [Aug 2019, p.18]

    The songs often seem made up of sharp, conflicting parts, that come together at angles, fitting into the spaces left by one another.

    The melancholia that underpins Trash Kit's music remains while they expand their palette, and results in an impressive piece of work.

    Most importantly, as the band builds momentum on track after track, they never miss an opportunity to draw unexpected emotion from their grooves. Time and time again, they excel at finding and seizing every opportunity to fully capitalise on the underlying beauty of these compositions. Likewise, they never undervalue or underestimate the sheer power of gentleness.

    The radical changes Trash Kit made to their music only heighten their time-tested strengths, and Horizon is some of their most satisfying music as well as their most forward-looking.

    It's an unlikely explosion of X-Ray Spex, The Raincoats, Oliver Mtukudzi and Stella Chiweshe, but it's a winning one. [Aug 2019, p.97]
