Sep 1, 2015He’s an impossible person, by all accounts--especially his own--but also an exceptionally expressive songwriter.

MojoAug 25, 2015The whole album unfolds at a pace somewhere between stately and glacial. [Oct 2015, p.93]
-
Aug 24, 2015This is a soul record that sounds pristine and yet feels raw--whatever else might’ve happened in the last couple of years, Beal’s voice--both literally and creatively--has not been withered.
-
Aug 27, 2015Noctunes repeatedly feels like a homecoming of sorts. It isn't, however, without its shortcomings: it's a tad prolonged (three tracks here could easily go) and there's a tendency for Beal to get comfortable in his compositions.
