    [An] astoundingly distinctive album.

    With his latest, Jonny Fritz cements his standing as a first-rate satirist whose off-kilter sensibility expands and challenges the very boundaries of what constitutes fair game in pop songwriting.

    This fourth album is his most satisfying yet. [Feb 2017, p.28]

    The album's deliberately murky tone (courtesy of Taylor Goldsmith and Jim James) doesn't always help, but in spite of its sometimes gimmicky tone, Sweet Creep is evidence that Jonny Fritz is a genuine talent and a first-rate songwriter, and with luck, he'll let his guard down some time and let us hear him without his persona getting in the way.

    "Gave the job making chopping onions...in the chilly dog morning."

    Lol...this album is incredibly personal and I think thats the best compliment you can give a musician. In term of the production, it mostly relax, very clean, very skilled.

    My only objection is its not haunting. It doesnt really tear you into pieces. Its ambitious in that it is not, which makes for an enjoyable but not daunting listen
