    There are subtle shifts in approaches that make every track here well worth exploring.

    Sam Evian created a potent LP with Plunge and keeps the album exciting by piecing together his lofty ideas and loosely tying them together via their unpredictable tendencies. By allowing even his loftiest visions to settle into his honed song craft he created a brand of pop music he can proudly call his own.

    While arguably Sam Evian's strongest set of songs yet, he's nothing if not consistent, and Plunge sits well alongside project debut Premium (2016) while at the same time offering something a little "more so" thanks to a live-in-studio recording philosophy that shunned headphones and playback and kept overdubs to a minimum.

    An album I like quite a lot when it’s on and ultimately, for better or worse, doesn’t stick with me much afterwards.

    A loose, luscious listen, with a timeless sound. [Apr 2024, p.32]
