    Their debut promises the possibility of future growth that could find the duo carving out a very fun, well-earned niche.

    Once more, Daptone has come up trumps; this is solid gold soul. [Jun 2015, p.90]

    Look Closer sits in a similar wheelhouse as most Daptone projects, working a familiar vein of late ’60s/early ’70s soul.
