    The songs often seem made up of sharp, conflicting parts, that come together at angles, fitting into the spaces left by one another.

    The radical changes Trash Kit made to their music only heighten their time-tested strengths, and Horizon is some of their most satisfying music as well as their most forward-looking.

    Most importantly, as the band builds momentum on track after track, they never miss an opportunity to draw unexpected emotion from their grooves. Time and time again, they excel at finding and seizing every opportunity to fully capitalise on the underlying beauty of these compositions. Likewise, they never undervalue or underestimate the sheer power of gentleness.

    Throughout it all, Trash Kit continue to find new ways to help you to shrug off the bullshit and dance.

    The melancholia that underpins Trash Kit's music remains while they expand their palette, and results in an impressive piece of work.

    Their third album Horizon is mellifluous and pretty, with a rolling, tumbling quality that feels like a downhill race. [Jul 2019, p.57]

    It's striking to hear just how confident the trio now are, and how interwoven their playing is. [Aug 2019, p.18]

    Incorporating a sense of scale and sounds that highlight the ingenuity and curiosity that sits are the heart of the trio, Horizon is a celebration of the trio’s vision and collective experiences. Wherever it takes them next, let’s hope it continues to be as enthralling as this.

    It's an unlikely explosion of X-Ray Spex, The Raincoats, Oliver Mtukudzi and Stella Chiweshe, but it's a winning one. [Aug 2019, p.97]
