MojoApr 20, 2012It's a downbeat party, but one with real atmosphere. [May 2012, p.88]
-
Apr 3, 2012Beautifully recorded strings and piano occasionally break the intimidating, sustained reverie, and the stark, rolling drums of 'Prime' suggest that Wexler could take this somewhere far darker.

-
Mar 22, 2012It's just accomplished enough as an amalgam--not entirely groundbreaking but definitely enjoyable as a collective reworking of impulses, with Wexler and a variety of guest players creating an enjoyable little treasure in its own right.
-
Mar 21, 2012Wexler honors the past, but far from staring into its sun, Dispossession feels like a trusty flashlight that can only point forward.
-
Mar 20, 2012On an album so concerned with straddling the invisible borders between the material and the spiritual, Wexler's disembodied voice becomes most powerful when seeping through space like a ghost in the machine, mysterious and ubiquitous as the existential questions he sings to life.
-
Mar 20, 2012What makes the album great, though, is that his explorations don't seem scattershot. Each strange shift in this album seems perfectly tailored, almost inevitable.
-
Mar 29, 2012While there's plenty to admire from a distance here, those who get in close will find little to cling onto.

Q MagazineApr 26, 2012A frustratingly dull affair. [May 2012, p.109]
