    Rather than slicing the Fleet Foxes cucumber too thin, Poor Man adds a whole new flavour. [Sep 2012, p.86

    The result is an album not only more interesting, but far more enjoyable.

    The result is a record that's primarily dedicated to beauty but with an engagingly playful spirit. [Sep 2012, p.83]

    Poor Moon turns out to be a wisp of a record, intentionally light and certainly promising but also oddly--and perhaps ironically--weightless.
