UncutMar 19, 2014An album that is startling as it is likeable. [Apr 2014, p.74]
-
Mar 25, 2014With its familiar landmarks interrupted by imaginative mood swings, Odludek offers an engaging listen.
-
Mar 25, 2014Odludek does its job well enough as it pulses forward, though it strangely doesn’t stick as deeply as you might expect.
-
Apr 22, 2014For an old dog, he's got some promising new tricks.
-
Mar 26, 2014When word of a Jimi Goodwin album first got out, the reaction was to hope for a trifle at best and fear a disaster at worst. Instead, it’s the rare solo album that builds on the singer’s day job without turning its back on it. File under: Pleasant surprise.
-
Mar 24, 2014Goodwin could be a solo star yet.
-
Mar 24, 2014Somewhere in between his rich, weathered baritone and his self-deprecating lyrics, the listener is charmed into submission, and it all goes down like a perfectly sessionable ale, albeit one with peculiar origins.
-
Mar 19, 2014Although the urge for transformation is commendable, sometimes a change isn’t quite as good as a rest.
-
MojoApr 23, 2014This is very much Goodwin's record, the work of a man revelling in his own company. [May 2014, p.88]
-
Mar 24, 2014His first solo album is a decent riposte: full of urgent, abrasive songs on which Goodwin sounds both creatively invigorated and thoroughly pissed off.
-
Mar 24, 2014While they do make for a well-structured collection of songs, individual tracks are often disappointing and the result feels like a half-hearted series of Doctor Who; its audience sustained more by thrilling trailers and the promise of fulfilment than any real substance
-
Mar 21, 2014Though occasionally he could have done with his band mates to act as a quality control barometer, overall Odludek shows that Goodwin made the right choice to step back onto the treadmill.
-
Q MagazineMar 19, 2014Odludek feels more like a mixtape than a sole artist's work. [Apr 2014, p.107]
-
Mar 19, 2014Odludek is a mixed bag, then. But it’s to Goodwin’s credit that the bravery he shows in trying to pull so much into one album is more often than not worthwhile.
-
Mar 24, 2014The result is an ambitious, varied, but largely unlovable work, its individual songs crammed with too many divergent ideas.
