    Somehow, his voice remains--a ghostly, spellbinding croon that swims through wastelands of strings and synths, making Noctunes unfold like an alternative soundtrack to Twin Peaks.

    His motifs are well-developed throughout, and a sonic palette is offered up without any of the odd missteps of his catalog. Never has his voice shone so brightly as an extraordinary talent, taking hold of the minimalist production and never relenting.

    In Beal’s attempt to exorcise old demons, the LP comes off way too moody and far too methodical to resonate long term.
