    Porpora has managed an album that is at points a tiny bit distressing, yet it offers sweet refuge from the uneasiness he himself creates.

    Although Kember's trademark floaty production sound is omnipresent at the forefront throughout, its Porpora's disconsolate vocal performance that steals the show.

    A continually evolving amalgam of influences and sonic oddities, it slowly creeps into the subconscious, unsettling and calming as it works its magic.

    Everything feels just that much more "on", for lack of a better term, with more focus and individuality.
  5. 60
    Definitely a beautiful album but its hopelessness is never-ending, like a friend telling you their relationship troubles for hours and hours.

    A rather lovely bedtime listen. [Jan 2013, p.101]

    It rarely rises above a sloth-like pace. [Dec 2012, p.86]
