Feb 20, 2015It's an aesthetically immaculate, existential, emotionally intense experience. Listening to this album is an emotionally draining exercise--but believe me, it's worth it.
-
Feb 20, 2015Ward proves that there's still room for him to make his mark on the genre--producing an album that feels fresh and bright. Not a bad way to start the year.
-
Feb 20, 2015Rapture is ultimately an honest effort devoid of staying power.
-
Feb 20, 2015While each track is meticulously crafted, you can’t help but feel a sense of familiarity and perhaps repetition settle in the last half of the album.
-
Feb 20, 2015The electronic bedroom pop inventiveness of his earlier EPs and debut has been replaced by plaintive bedroom pleas on this misguided second effort.
-
Feb 25, 2015On Rapture he’s traded atmospherics for dominating vocals, making the stylistic leap towards ‘tell don’t show’ music. It’s a move that will undoubtedly bring Tropics to a wider audience, but robs the listener of emotional nuance and understatement; everything that made him interesting, back when he was still making music in his bedroom.
