Jun 10, 2014Above all else, Only Run feels full of this type of energy, the desperation and freedom of needing to prove yourself again.
-
Jun 3, 2014The result is an album of beautiful juxtapositions, steeped with poetic gravitas that nonetheless never fails soar.
-
Jun 10, 2014Without the warm, human touch that made CYHSY’s previous releases so inviting, the ten (or really nine considering “Impossible Request” appears twice) tracks on Only Run feel cold and calculated.

Jun 2, 2014Whilst materially an improvement on its predecessor, the move to electronica is superficial.

Jun 11, 2014The band’s latest evolution is bound to shed some fans of the old lineup, but the music here is interesting enough to attract some new listeners as well.

Jun 5, 2014For the first time ever, CYHSY is clearly not a full band playing in a room together; Ounsworth and drummer Sean Greenhalgh are the only two regulars here. But it also doesn’t sound like a freshly band-less songwriter trying not to sound band-less.
