    His second EP after a Young Turks-released four-tracker of 2010, does a lot with little: three tracks contain vocals, but each hits a sweet spot with incredible accuracy, doing in a few minutes what some bands take an album to deliver.

    The worst thing I can say about an EP is that it's too damn short, it's certainly a success.

    His new EP, Meantime, is an unabashedly beautiful, even sensuous 17 minutes of music.

    Even with only four songs, Meantime displays a mastery of subtle variation, achieving sonic complexity through the repetition, layering, and balance of disparate rhythms and textures.

    This is a proud statement that is only hampered by its length and obfuscation. [Jun 2012, p.161]
