Aug 25, 2016Lots of people are making music like this in 2016, but very few are making it this impressively.
-
MojoAug 12, 2016A powerful intoxicant rather than just another retro genre exercise. [Sep 2016, p.92]
-
UncutAug 12, 2016Morgan Delt has moved to Sub Pop and upped the ambition for this excellent follow-up. [Sep 2016, p.73]

Sep 2, 2016Phase Zero might not be as rough around the edges as its predecessor, but it’s still a strange and unusual beast. It is debt to its influences at times, but also idiosyncratic and mysterious enough to stand on its own two feet.
