    A journey, then, one exploring the psyche of a man and his relationship with the world. [Jan 2018, p.90]

    It may have taken some time to arrive but Two Trains is a strong personal statement that should find wider appreciation.

    There are a decent amount of genuinely stirring moments on this album to prevent it from falling completely flat. It’s interesting and occasionally shines but, front-ended with its strongest tracks, Two Trains ultimately runs out of steam.

    He breathily conjures up memories of the excellent recent Anohni album, and drops an ominous-sounding male voice choir into the mix for good measure. The industrial vibes are there in the rhythms, but softened immensely by clean Scandi strings. One to keep an eye on.

    Two Trains could be pared down to a gorgeous EP.

    His unwillingness to let anything breathe for very long might be a weakness, but it's also the trait that keeps all 36 minutes of Two Trains interesting, if not always engaging.
