    An album where technological trickery frequently delivers real magic. [Jan 2018, p.110]

    On one level, Tokorats can be enjoyed as a cleverly nuanced and textured album with Jonti displaying an innate ability to juxtapose old and new samples and live instrumentation cleverly. On the other, it can simply be enjoyed as an album of great tunes with some that'll make you think, some that will make you move, and some that will do both.

    A feast of sonic juxtapositions, whimsical beats and massed vocal harmonies. [Jan 2018, p.94]

    Five years in the making seems like a long time for an hour's worth of music, but Jonti clearly had plenty of fun along the way. [Jan 2018, p.22]

    Not all of his juxtapositions or segues seem to make sense, and the album seems a bit overstuffed, but Jonti's ambition and creativity are undeniably admirable, and the entire album is a delightfully strange trip.

    At times this sunny, heart-on-sleeve temperament seems harmless and even quite endearing. More often it simply grates: he’s too precious, too twee.
