    An album that is startling as it is likeable. [Apr 2014, p.74]

    With its familiar landmarks interrupted by imaginative mood swings, Odludek offers an engaging listen.

    Odludek does its job well enough as it pulses forward, though it strangely doesn’t stick as deeply as you might expect.

    For an old dog, he's got some promising new tricks.

    When word of a Jimi Goodwin album first got out, the reaction was to hope for a trifle at best and fear a disaster at worst. Instead, it’s the rare solo album that builds on the singer’s day job without turning its back on it. File under: Pleasant surprise.

    Goodwin could be a solo star yet.

    Somewhere in between his rich, weathered baritone and his self-deprecating lyrics, the listener is charmed into submission, and it all goes down like a perfectly sessionable ale, albeit one with peculiar origins.

    Although the urge for transformation is commendable, sometimes a change isn’t quite as good as a rest.

    After 4 years without a Doves record, this is a very welcome return for Jimi Goodwin. I've heard the word 'mixtape' used several times inAfter 4 years without a Doves record, this is a very welcome return for Jimi Goodwin. I've heard the word 'mixtape' used several times in reviews for this, but it really doesnt do the album justice. It's eclectic, but even the barmy 'Man Vs Dingo' worms it's way in to your head and stays there. There's plenty to love in this record, warmth, hope, sadness, anger and a whole lot more, all delivered by one of the the most soulful voice coming out of the UK right now. Glorious album. Get it. Enjoy!! Full Review »
