Jul 19, 2017Some of Weather Diaries sounds a bit thin, as the album's vibrant singles come off as outdated recreations of old songs with some unnecessary polish. It isn’t short of ideas, though.

Jun 19, 2017Weather Diaries brings electronic touches into play, but the production is too chaste and respectful throughout.
