    This album offers some very interesting sounds, tunes and uses of instruments, but it's all a bit too crazy and psychedelic for me. Sounds a bit like David Bowie at times. Not my cup of tea.

    What makes Shortly After Take Off work is the attention to detail, both musically and lyrically.

    Adopting a very domestic lyrical setting whilst grappling bravely with big issues, Shortly After Takeoff offers ideal lockdown listening, a touching black comedy of emotional isolation.
