    Of course, it’s a world away from the frenetic and frivolous Supergrass sound, but as Coombes matures into a serious rock wordsmith he perfectly displays the personal highs and lows, the strengths and weaknesses of simply being…Gaz Coombes. A worthy investment.

    An instinctive and honest sublimation of a state of mind, full of intriguing revelations but leaving enough questions unanswered to keep you ever seeking more in its grooves. [Feb 2015, p.88]

    This is a bold confessional and one made all the stronger by music that's creative and daring without ever once straying into disco dad territory.

    Instead of following his darker impulses or fantastically out-there indulgences, Coombes plays it safe.
