    Stith creates musical friction in a way that’s brilliantly compelling, and there are passages of calm here too. Summer Madness, in particular, shimmers with impressionistic beauty.

    Throughout the album DM Stith acts a man far off into the galaxy, oscillating between space and sound, and without much vocalizing, extends a gracious hand to the listener as well.

    Challenging, but deeply satisfying. [Aug 2016, p.83]

    It’s a very special record that offers more with every listen.

    Overall though, Stith’s second album retains the frustrations of his debut. The songs feel fragmented, with lots of memorable moments--a gorgeous chord change here, an inspired juxtaposition of sonic ingredients there--but very rarely are they memorable as complete compositions.

    Pigeonheart is a dense and immersive listen imbued with an odd spirituality; but unlike, say Age of Adz, the heart and warmth within sometimes remain frustratingly buried beneath layers of alien affectations.

    Only occasionally does the survey of this interpersonal battlefield afford an optimistic light.
