    Time of Dust is bleaker than his past work, marrying a dark heart with epic hooks and choruses like a darker Elbow.

    Balanced by bitter barbs at modern snivellers and shysters in Time of Dust itself, the result is a compact but concentrated dose of poison.

    A gorgeous noirish set of cinematic songs with a bittersweet emotional core.

    A sharp, stirring contrast to the delicate lustre of its 2012 predecessor, Back Into The Woods. [Feb 2014, p.76]

    Ed’s voice is at its finest--effortless and addictive. It makes you want to listen to this gem all over again.

    [Harcourt whets] our curiosity with this six-tracker which goes to the brink but never quite falls over the edge. [Feb 2014, p.96]

    It doesn’t quite hang together in the way that an official Harcourt album does, acting instead as a kind of taster for things to come. Yet as aperitifs go, it’s pretty satisfying.
