    Although Overgrown Path is only 30 Minutes long, it nonetheless reveals Chris Cohen as a Man with an individual voice, and its brevity makes it particularly more-ish. [Jan 2013, p.94]

    Overgrown Path is clearly a confident record from a music lifer, though its heavy fuzzy layers and more eccentric moments sound more like unfinished trials than fruitful experiments.

    For a record that initially seems nothing more than a charming little reverie, it's difficult to shake off. [Dec 2012, p.102]

    Throughout its brisk playtime, Overgrown Path evinces an airy touch with transitions, a knack for phrasing (the pauses and extra beats always find their right place), and an invidiously deft hand for crafting verses equal to their choruses.

    Cohen brings to mind the far out, oddball eccentricity of Robert Wyatt, patted down and smoothed over by Colin Blunstone's suavity, adding to the canon of otherworldly, offbeat artists who resist definition.

    These songs dance around themselves, swaying with confidence, before getting lost in a grey area between jaunty and confused.

    It's a nice album. One of the things that's really interesting about it, though, is its relationship with nostalgia.

    With songs this strong, it's an easy album to keep coming back to.

    Cohen might have made the album for himself as a keepsake, an antidote to the rest of life's pressing noise. It works that way for us, as well.

    Another twelve inches of brilliance.
