    The entire thing is an absolute, unerring joy.

    Wolfroy Goes to Town haunts you quietly, in a private way that is, somehow, all the more devastating.

    A confounding and bewitching set of songs that feels gloriously out of time. [Dec 2011, p.100]

    Wolfroy goes to Town is a meditative and sparse collection, and much of it continues the same train thought at work in the "There is no God" b/w "God is Love" single. [#82, p. 52]

    Bonnie Prince Billy shows no sign of slowing down his slowness, despite, or perhaps because of, the misery. [Nov 2011, p.56]

    More than the last few albums, Wolfroy rewards this kind of close relationship between listener and performer.
