Jul 1, 2016You nearly always know what you're going to get with Plaid albums, but equally to miss them, to pass them up, is akin to passing up on some of those curious pleasures that make life so enjoyable, whatever these might be. So, you know what you must do; get digging The Digging Remedy.

Jun 20, 2016It is a summertime record if ever there was one, filled with sunshine and nostalgia. It just goes to show that there will always be room in the world for more hook infested, balmy electronic music that makes you grin like an idiot.

MojoJun 28, 2016While this ninth LP retains Plaid's signature style, it also offers far more range than dependable recent outings Reachy Prints or Scintilli. [Aug 2016, p.96]

Jun 17, 2016The good news about The Digging Remedy is that it’s lovely and listenable for any longtime followers, or for anyone remotely interested in the kind of melodic IDM defined by this piece. However, it is neither an exciting deviation nor a refinement; as such, it’s really just more of an already-good thing, albeit packaged less delicately.

MagnetAug 9, 2016Plaid's sweet spot is halfway between cross-eared sonic doodling and IDM convention, the midpoint where you can hear both ends. [No. 133, p.59]
-
Jul 15, 2016It’s more of a reaffirmation of what Plaid have always been--dancing between the clever and the clever-clever, always remembering that you need to have gone clubbing to enjoy any post-club chill out.

Jun 17, 2016As a whole, the music is warm and pleasant, even occasionally gorgeous, but it feels a bit bloodless.
