    Thailand and telephone love letters might not have been how you spent your summer, but Janssen finds a way to make it all seem relatable.

    While it's not exactly beach music, his ear for uplifting harmonies as on So Lucky's lens-flared sonic rapture and Hand Over Hand's ecstatic evocation of bucolic landscapes, means the songs never fail to glow. [Aug 2012, p.95]

    It's a summer record, in the classic sense, constructed from vibrant, laissez-faire love songs. [Jun 2012, p.152]
