    With its themes giving the listener the desire to actually pay attention to what being said, rather than just zoning out to the album’s ear-worming melodies, Insecure Men is no doubt one of 2018’s best debuts.

    The best record he's [Saul Adamczewski's] done. [Apr 2018, p.111]

    An engrossing, bleak and often warming set of exotica, vintage pop and childlike pizzazz.

    It adds up to an album that feels like far more than just a repository for the tunes and musical influences verboten under Fat White Family’s artistic agenda: a slice of darkly skewed pop that’s weightier and much better than the side-project label suggests.

    The vibe is smart, slightly soiled. [Apr 2018, p.28]

    Tracks like the glammy "Mekong Glitter" and the instrumental "Heathrow" both hanging on long enough to outstay their welcome. Overall, though, Insecure Men's melting pot of pop is straight-up fun with some deceivingly clever craft to it.

    These are exotic lullabies which, superficial cosiness notwithstanding, lead only to nocturnal anxiety. [Apr 2018, p.91]
