May 8, 2014Whelm is a Herculean debut.
-
May 8, 2014The songs on Dare's debut album, Whelm ache with a sort of moody emotion that young and old can have in common--wide-eyed, reflective and besotted with the way the world makes us feel.
-
May 8, 2014It feels raw, genuine, but most of all, human.
-
May 9, 2014This is essential listening for fans of Owen Pallett and Ólafur Arnalds.

May 13, 2014It's a careful and moody album, but fortunately, Dare has the grace to pull off his sonic and lyrical meanderings without devolving too deeply into self-conscious philosophizing or experimentation for its own sake, showing that he has both content and mystique to spare.

May 8, 2014Although some of the themes and content of the music may be a little heavy, Dare uses the most basic of tools available to him and us as humans to express himself--words.
