    Evocative and enriching, Tiersen’s Eusa is a faultless work.

    Taken as a whole, though, EUSA is luminous, a grand gesture made up of the kind of small, gorgeous moments that will remind listeners of home--wherever that may be.

    Each song is chocked full of inventive counterpoints and melodies making it the most cohesive album Tiersen has released for a decade. With each listen you uncover another facet not just of of this complex and charming album, but of yourself too.

    The tone and the simplicity and the subtle melancholy of these eighteen miniature pieces make EUSA the most charming Tiersen release in some time.

    Comforting but never dull, it's a reminder that the familiar can be just as inspiring as the foreign.

    The more ‘ambient’ tracks (entitled Hent I-VIII) are scattered throughout the album and simply consist of Tiersen tinkling around on his piano over the sound of birds chirping away. ... Yet this can’t distract from the beauty of the main piano tracks on Eusa.

    Ultimately only the title retains the tang of locality. [Nov 2016, p.73]
