Under The RadarJun 25, 2013This is a record that comes close to realising the vision Laufman laid out two years ago. This star is finally back on track. [Jun-Jul 2013, p.91]

Jun 25, 2013He should be tired after creating an album in a voice so insularly his. That insularity can make tracks blend together some, but Laufman’s genre-collaging and quirky point of view make Id a compelling listen.
