Q MagazineOct 9, 2014Bainbridge reveals himself here not as an exhaustingly pseudy hipster but rather a songwriter of singular depth and emotion. [Nov 2014, p.114]
-
Oct 28, 2014If you’re looking for a new album with real depth to play on repeat, with horns, pianos and cowbells to spare, this is it.
-
UncutNov 11, 2014Bainsbridge's achievement is to take a style of music defined by its emotional directness and render it mysterious, aloof and enthralling. [Dec 2014, p.77]
-
Oct 14, 2014Bainbridge reaches past the boundaries he set on Change of Mind, making Otherness a rich, varied examination of love and loneliness. But sometimes that sparseness he likes means there’s just too little to grip.
-
Oct 15, 2014Otherness is probably a better album than Bainbridge’s debut as Kindness but it succeeds in different ways and is certainly more of a slow burner.
-
Oct 17, 2014There's only one track with any forward motion, and it's the overly slick and one-dimensional "I'll Be Back." Otherwise, Otherness is mostly murky and overcooked ballads, without hooks or much emotional impact.
-
Oct 9, 2014His sophomore full-length is at times uninspired and leaves an emptiness in the gut.
