    Its good from beginning to end. I listened to this over and over again when it came out, put it down for a couple months than came back to it and listenned some more. Definitely does the trick.

    Birkenes’ vox often skews towards the incorporeal, a little too airy for its own good, and requires some form of substance to keep it tethered to the music. Without it, Pocketknife threatens to float away into some ethereal realm (as it tends to do in the latter half). That being said, Birkenes does craft some gems throughout the record.

    There are certainly some strong tracks here and it will be interesting to see how Mr. Little Jeans develops, but as a whole, Pocketknife is an uneven debut.

    Pocketknife is surprisingly diverse, with nearly every song offering a hook or refrain that feels textured, vital, and, perhaps most importantly, of a piece.
