Jun 6, 2011Vek truly exploits the benefits of being in a one-man band: all instruments and ideas can be used as often or as sparingly as he likes; the feelings of the Mellotron and crumhorn session musicians do not need to be taken into account.
-
Jun 6, 2011How long before the next Vek release remains to be seen, but Leisure Seizure will be stuck in your head long after you quit listening.
-
UncutJun 17, 2011His more emphatic, aggressive muse is unique and subtly disquieting. [Jul 2011, p.96]
-
Jun 8, 2011Unfortunately, Vek's voice outstays its welcome by the middle of the album. Leisure Seizure is front-loaded with its best material, such that the second half of the record becomes rather tedious.
-
Aug 24, 2011With Leisure Seizure, Vek doesn't retool his sound much -- slabs of jittery synths underpin his urgent yelps, which start to grate over 12 tracks.
-
Jun 6, 2011Nobody else writes songs like him. Alas, the twentysomething has a voice only a mother could truly love.
-
MojoJun 21, 2011Like a brand-new gadget, it might look smart but Leisure Seizure's obsolescence is built-in. [July 2011, p. 103]
