UncutOct 10, 2016A more polished and focused affair that demonstrates the breadth of Duncan's sparkling ability, not to mention his pop chops, while conveying a gorgeous otherworldiness that effortlessly channels peak Cocteau Twins and Radiohead. [Nov 2016, p.26]

Oct 10, 2016The Midnight Sun is a heavily stylized return that does not fall for crude, archaic sounds to create its spectral atmosphere, but rather relies on timeless rules of composition; much like its predecessor, it is sure to be met with acclaim.
-
Oct 10, 2016Like its predecessor, every single element on The Midnight Sun appears to have been carefully and painstakingly thought out, but serene closer Window is a perfect demonstration of just how effortless it all sounds.

Oct 10, 2016Elegant and focused, the album was written, recorded and produced in the same bedroom as his first LP--with the same supersonic attention to detail. It's only his ambitions that have changed.
-
Oct 10, 2016If anything, this album is better than his first, as he settles confidently on his recognisable but versatile sound.
-
Nov 14, 2016The overall effect is pristine and seamless, and the work of a supremely talented composer and producer.
-
Nov 1, 2016Each track is a pretty, almost perfect, aural snapshot that captures the freedom of airlessness, but it's impossible to shake the feeling you're hearing subtle variations of the same song.
