Jan 17, 2018Insular, yes, but in being laid bare it speaks with a strong purpose.
-
Jan 24, 2018It’s not an album made for background listening, it’s made for losing yourself in completely, and, in that, it succeeds perfectly.

Jan 24, 2018Passover may be an album of grieving, but it is not beholden to the process. While many albums of loss are as hard to hear as they are beautiful, Shields has opted for a somewhat more welcoming approach.

Jan 17, 2018While his words do occasionally come to the fore, such as on the emotional Wren, the questions Shields raises surrounding religion and ceremony, the elemental and the domestic, can feel secondary to the atmosphere. Passover captures the spectre of death, but its existential meditations can be obscured.
