  1. Drowned In Sound
    80
    Year in the Kingdom may not be a feast of eclecticism, but it is a lesson in the construction of compelling, stripped-down folk.
  2. Tiny Mix Tapes
    60
    Year in the Kingdom suggests whatever band he’s drumming for is ultimately inconsequential; this backwoods wanderer seems fully capable of detailing his wreckage on his own.
  3. Uncut
    60
    The pulse never rises above a heartbeat, but as the nine songs clock in at 34 minutes, the absence of tempo changes is barely noticed. [Oct 2009, p.112]

  4. Q Magazine
    60
    Quietly confessional and ever so slightly disturbing. [Oct 2009, p.117]
