Dec 5, 2016It’s not without its longueurs--Oily Boker is an unremarkable five minutes--but at least Doherty can once again show why anybody was bothered about him in the first place.
-
Dec 1, 2016The Kinks-esque melodies are surprisingly tuneful and, during its hushed moments, Doherty proves himself a deft master of late-night intimacy.

Nov 30, 2016Musically, it’s an odd mix of ambition and disorder, with Doherty’s familiar raggedy-ass rock tempered with poignant moments.

Nov 30, 2016Either way, it’s a slightly boozy, bluesy, badly tuned, occasionally winsome collection of songs that treads a neat path between pseud’s corner and authentic alley.

Dec 9, 2016Hamburg Demonstrations, for all its charm and cheeky wordplay and get-the-bar-to-its-feet swagger, doesn’t quite live up to the expectations that its forbear set for it. Nevertheless, this is millennial Brit-rock through and through.

Dec 2, 2016There doesn’t appear to be much of a connection between any of the songs, and you’ll have to be fairly willing to wander through the wreckage to find much of any delight.
