    The satisfaction at being amongst those who make it through to the other side threatens to supplant the sonic satisfaction, but there's nothing artificial about it; if anything, it's flat-out welcoming.

    The basic goal of Pumice to produce fuzzy, echo-heavy home recordings of pop hooks as such remains the same.

    While Puny will likely draw few new fans into Neville's unique sound world, those who have long fallen under the spell of his corroded Kiwi fuckery will be rapt yet again.

    While everything on Puny might not work, whether intentional or not, it has enough beautiful moments shining through to attract curious ears and any victory no matter how small it is, is still a victory.
