May 31, 2018An ambient, compelling and unique look into whether contemporary life really has to be so empty.
-
Jun 1, 2018Lump is brief, but Marling’s gorgeously uncanny melodies--which, like Lindsay’s synth sounds, have an other-timely quality--are dazzling enough to linger indefinitely.
-
Q MagazineMay 30, 2018The sense here is of two artists drawing creative sustenance from new light. [Jul 2018, p.112]
-
Jun 7, 2018A side project should be challenging and unusual; it should stretch the boundaries of the artists involved. Since that is what this characterful, strong, self-contained album does, you really have to like it or lump it.
-
Jun 8, 2018If LUMP is a commentary on the commodification of art and the self, then its final minutes suggest the duality of music as a commodity.
-
Jun 1, 2018LUMP is a creation that both composers stressed passed through them and they look upon parentally and this is evident as an articulation of the artistic detail of the contemporary, through Lindsay’s colourful soundscapes.
-
Jun 4, 2018Lindsay’s wonky music, meanwhile--he plays most of the instruments--benefits hugely from the strength of Marling’s voice and persona. The only bum note is that there isn’t more Lump to treasure.
