Mar 22, 2021All the tinkering Ross does at home has done it for Wild Pink.
-
Feb 25, 2021The melodies go exactly where you want them to, as do the emotional beats, resulting in a lovely travelogue that avoids steering down any seasonal roads, and in doing so quickly fades from memory.
-
Feb 22, 2021He's faithful to his musical vision, even as he expands its scope, though there's a fair degree of sameness throughout that makes it a somewhat monochrome listen. Still, it never feels like a chore to weave through Ross' honest, personal songwriting.

Feb 22, 2021If A Billion Little Lights doesn't always awe quite like it should, given its considerable zeal and craftsmanship, it's because of that familiarity. The album has a big heart and big ambitions to match. The only thing missing is the very thing these songs long for the most: the thrill of discovery.

Feb 19, 2021The execution isn’t quite perfect - at times, you can feel the record trying, as if it’s labouring under its own weight. But the band, and particularly Ross, deliver it with such honesty that that much can be forgiven.

UncutFeb 19, 2021Lyrical references to stargazing, sprawling jasmine and the passage of time paint a picture of the infinite, and our small place in it, that is heightened by the band's soaring melodies. [Mar 2021, p.39]

Feb 19, 2021Wild Pink’s third full length sees them at their most fluent, achieving a compositional and performative apex.
-
Feb 19, 2021While A Billion Little Lights as a whole is not as elegantly cohesive as Wild Pink's past work, the starry-eyed melodies shine stronger and more confidently than ever.
-
Feb 19, 2021A Billion Little Lights is a good album when heard in isolation, but it pales in comparison to those albums that inspired its creation.
