Feb 27, 2016Love this. It's a definite grower which is not reflected in some of these reviews (who appear to have given it a cursory listen). Rich and expansive is right. Many melodies bouncing in my head between listens. His best album.

Feb 19, 2016Beautiful and hunting, Pause might not be remembered as much as Pi but his adventure is so gripping it will tear you apart. Brought me back to the days I was listening the The Shins although this time around Cut Copy has joined the march.

Nov 3, 2016Jack Tatum's 2010 debut Gemini and sophomore Nocturne two years later remain solitary swashes of moody guitars and sulky introspection. Life of Pause loses these moments in favor of lush waves of warm electronics and buoyant soul that coalesce into Neon Glo flourishes.

MagnetMar 30, 2016It proves quickly to be a break for the better, though, forging its unique identity on account of Tatum’s ability to turn a tune in many more ways than one. [No. 129, p.61]

Mar 3, 2016It’s not quite inspiration, or an emotional center. You leave this record thinking about how complex and refined it is, or maybe about how much Jack Tatum has grown as a songwriter. But at the end of the day, the album doesn’t embed itself into your daily life in the way Nocturne or Gemini did.
