Q MagazineSep 24, 2019A fascinating new direction. [Nov 2019, p.115]
-
Sep 23, 2019One True Pairing is an equally welcome return and introduction to his music.
-
Sep 23, 2019One True Pairing is not an easy listening record, despite its pop structures. Fleming is stark in his observations, yet he has woven hope in amongst the despair, creating a body of work that serves as a way through difficult and tumultuous emotions.
-
Sep 25, 2019Contrasting One True Pairing’s sleek sound, Fleming is consistently willing to dampen the mood with world weary, starkly honest observations as to our current cultural reality. Whether it’s toxic masculinity, paranoia, or an all too real fear of global collapse, the record lays all things bare.

UncutSep 23, 2019This solo debut sees him working within a very limited sonic palette--doomy, minor-key constructions featuring distorted rhythm guitar riffs played over a grid of '80s synths and drum machines. These can be effective when paired with grim lyrics of small-town realism. [Oct 2019, p.33]

MojoSep 23, 2019An experimental and deeply idiosyncratic record. [Oct 2019, p.90]
