May 29, 2013While many artists choose to play it safe on their debut album, Doldrums has decided to take us on an untidy journey into his own headspace. Lesser Evil is an unflinching and unashamed document of that trip, like a travelogue of a doomed vacation through Woodhead’s brain.
-
May 29, 2013It's cacophonous and polyrhythmic, continuously falling apart and putting itself back together.
-
May 29, 2013It sees the Canadian doing what he does best--welding samples together obsessively, and wailing a lot over the top.

UncutMay 29, 2013Doldrums' frequently multi-tracked falsetto is the icing on an appealingly irregular cake. [Apr 2013, p.71]

May 29, 2013In the wider picture, this may not make the impressive strides 'Visions' or Purity Ring's 'Shrines' did, but there's every chance Lesser Evil can find an audience to smother it in all the affection it deserves.

MagnetMay 29, 2013It's a warped ride overall, though not without some solid moments hidden beneath the surface. [No. 96, p.54]
-
May 29, 2013Lesser Evil is not without its merits, and there’s something here for those willing to wade through the murk and warped, fractured imagination of Woodhead, and you may come to realize that he’s doing something truly challenging.
