    Their finest since 2010's Destroyer Of The Void - sees them concentrating on what they do best: songs that sound like The Beatles at Big Pink; songs that sound like Dylan gone power-pop. [Oct 2020, p.93]

    Blitzen Trapper has succeeded in making a very complex album that is probably quite different than most new albums you’ll hear this year.

    Despite its overtly metaphysical esthetic, Holy Smokes Future Jokes goes down fairly easy, as the band conjure up melodies that swaddle Earley's heady yet homespun lyrics in the golden hues of breezy west coast pop and country-folk.

    Musically it's more grounded, though, if still diverse. [Nov 2020, p.27]

    The head-scratching concepts go down easy for music that feels like a comforting warm breeze on a cool spring day.
