Jun 30, 2016This is a good record, where two inherently different musicians who speak the same language get together in the same room and produce something that’s as amorphous as the cover and as emotionally charged as the album and track titles suggest.

UncutJun 22, 2016A heroic mutual soppiness is the key tot his dreamy two-tracker. [Jul 2016, p.74]

Jul 21, 2016The two pieces enhance and complement one another to make a combined whole. This is very much a considered and, with regards to its structure, composed body of work.

MagnetAug 9, 2016The distorted, shimmering sound world proposed by My Bloody Valentine's Loveless and perfected on Fennesz's Endless Summer is used here as a gorgeous facade behind which endless layers of processed guitars recede like ocean waves reaching for the horizon. [No. 133, p.55]

Jun 29, 2016It’s clear that the artists are well aware of the risks of throwing themselves too eagerly into the wine-dark churn, but here, O’Rourke isn’t quite capable of reining in Fennesz’ more impetuous inclinations, and by the end of it, you find yourself craving a quiet patch of warm, dry land on which to catch your breath.

Aug 16, 2016It’s Hard for Me to Say I’m Sorry, then, turns out to be a good collaboration, one that shows the best of both players, but only when they give each other the room to make this sound more like a conversation than a shouting match.
