    I was terrified that this album could never live up to the achievement that was Peasant. But it does.

    A spectacular, genre-defying observation of contemporary Britain. Amazingly creative, skilful, melodic, crushing and heartbreaking, it’s brilliantly done. I’m still taking it all in. People will still be listening to this in 1000 years, if they still have record players.

    The album has some great songs but I think there's missing something different and new...

    What a super album! , a modern day version of Peasant. 'Heart emoji' and 'jogging' being my fav tracks. There's such a lot to appreciate with Dawsons latest offering. Story telling and ear wig tunes that keep me coming back for more

    Socially aware, beautifully played, dazzlingly well-crafted, and, most importantly, exceptionally moving, this is a glimpse of the future that's happening right now —and we're so lucky to have Dawson here to give his anxious, ambitious account.

    Dawson doesn’t obscure his political predispositions, which are quite understood on tracks such as “Civil Servant” & “Fulfilment Centre,” for example. But 2020 is far from a soapbox, despite being clearly inflected by contemporary anxieties. Dawson’s characters speak for themselves through their lived experience.

    With 2020, Dawson has applied his stream-of-consciousness narratives to the present day through a series of warm and sympathetic songs that show bewildered characters struggling with socio-political forces beyond their control.
