May 9, 2019Oh My God is a spiritual album for a secular age, one that tries to distil a sense of the divine from the very act of making music.
-
Apr 24, 2019Not a single cut on Oh My God feels out of place. Each song is effulgent in its composition and intention.
-
May 1, 2019Oh My God, the dizzying and fantastic fifth album from the increasingly prolific folk-rocker, is preoccupied with the language of exaltation, from its gospel-choir refrains to its outrageous album cover, which depicts Morby, shirtless, posing beneath a famous painting of Saint Cecilia playing piano for the angels. Somehow, none of this scans as ironic or overtly hokey.

Q MagazineApr 23, 2019Morby's songs move from the grandiose to hushed confessionals and by the time it ends with Dylan-like O Behold the entire journey feels like a revelation. [Jun 2019, p.115]

Apr 25, 2019Oh My God is a dense listen and though there are more immediate moments (the raucous ‘OMG Rock n Roll’ and the shapeshifting ‘Hail Mary’ are two examples), you can let this album wash over you and wallow in its most intense songs, for they are the ones that will linger longest.

May 15, 2019He doesn’t always push far enough; the album’s best when we feel the tightwire of this experience rather than when we suspect an agnostic at play. Religious language and transcendent experience (secular or sacred, if we divide them) come loaded with danger. The more Morby pushes into that space and the more he asks of the listener, the deeper the experience.
-
Apr 23, 2019From voices in prayer to the jaunty organ and guitar pedal abuse of Congratulations, this is a record that rarely falls short of a creative arrangement but ultimately the gospel of Morby is one for the devotees not the unbelievers.

Apr 30, 2019Чем-то напоминает Bob Dylan. Вполне не плохо, но что-то отдельно выделить не могу.

Apr 28, 2019Quite a tepid album, the songs tend to linger on the boring. It's a bit of a slog.
