    Working with producer Jack Splash, they craft a dense, bracing, kaleidoscopic avant-soul backdrop for frontman Paul Janeway's musings on religion, politics and family. [Oct 2018, p.32]

    This is a missed opportunity--there aren’t many artists out there right now hurling out James Brown-like screams over dissonant, programmed beats--and it’s indicative of the overall timidity at work on Young Sick Camellia.

    While the ballads here ("Hurricanes" and "Bruised Fruit") offer little more than vocal histrionics, they're still immaculately crafted and performed. The fact that these missteps are still compelling is clear proof that Young Sick Camellia is by a band at the height of their powers.
