Sep 12, 2021Only coming back to this album after listening to something else, having worn yourself out listening to it, do you realise just how good it is. A classic. Who knew they were still possible.

Jun 5, 2018The man is surely channeling 'World of Echo' Arthur Russell through the vocal chords of Jose Gonzalez, thankfully he's doing a successful job at it. A grower (as if you needed this spelling out) and wonderfully expansive, this has an addictive ebb and flow to it. One to relax into.

Jun 4, 2018This album just isn't for me the instrumentation is spot on but makes it a tough listen as I feel some of the tracks just drag on and are far to ambient. I appricate the feel and the talent that has gone into this album but like I say it just isn't for me which is a shame.

Jun 3, 2018In Noonday Dream, Ben has built an oasis of ethereal, sprawling soundscapes. Sit back, relax and allow yourself to drift away. It won't be the sound of your radio summer, but not all music has to be.

Aug 2, 2018For all the times where Noonday Dream gets, well, a little too dreamy, "Nica Libres at Dusk" demonstrates further possibility for Howard's songwriting. If he's able to marry his chops with acoustic instruments to his penchant for electronic and ambient music, without letting one take precedence over the other, he'd be on his way to a masterpiece that, at their best, each of his three records thus far has hinted at.

MojoJun 28, 2018The result is a meditative set full pf surprises, and songs that haunt. [Aug 2018, p.90]

UncutJun 15, 2018Each track comes shrouded in glitchy systems noise and Eno-esque ambient drones. The best moments maintain Howard's way with a melody. [Aug 2018, p.28]
