    It's still raining in Ray's heart, but this is radiant stuff. [Jul 2018, p.92]

    Part Of The Light finds him in dream-like mode, and though he'll never rival Guy Garvey for loquacity, he's so comfortable in his own skin that To The Sea details a cheery trip to the seaside and his voice soars where it once growled. [Jul 2018, p.112]

    It's an aural lava lamp, kicking up slow-bursting explosions of texture and sound.

    It's a comfortable collision of songs that probably won't gain many new listeners, but should find a home in real fans' collections, despite its lack of risk-taking.
