Feb 7, 2020No doubt Moreland's already established songwriting skills are fully intact, but pushing on the sonic boundaries of the genre are what gives LP5 its edge.

Feb 7, 2020The ten songs here reveal that sometimes vulnerability conveys a greater strength than a show of force.

UncutFeb 20, 2020He thrives in intimate surroundings, furnishing these songs with discreet and sometimes adventurous embellishments - drum machine, say - that enhance his message, rather than detract from it. [Apr 2020, p.26]

Feb 7, 2020It’s true that pain has informed some of Moreland’s most wringing tracks, but he shows on LP5 that he’s capable of writing potent songs without the anguish that fueled his earlier work. That’s not to say these new songs are all gumdrops and sunshine, but it’s gratifying to hear an artist growing out of the framework that held up him at the start and drawing inspiration from new and different directions.

Feb 18, 2020Moreland’s songs have long dwelled in the contested middle ground between doing the right thing and not being able to figure out what the right thing is. On LP5, he articulates what it feels like to get it, however briefly, and let go. And he doesn’t always need words to do so.

MojoMar 17, 2020Sometimes, it fits and sounds glorious. ... But on other tracks it sounds like an Aphex B-side is bleeding in from the next room. Beneath the white noise, however, Moreland is in rich form. [May 2020, p.88]
