Oct 2, 2014Whilst work on Radiohead’s ninth album may soon become priority, the assurance with which this album has been constructed shows that this is no trivial side project.
-
Oct 28, 2014Weatherhouse properly uncovers Selway as a compelling songwriter.
-
Oct 6, 2014This is an immaculately crafted, impossibly tasteful miniature, one that will satisfy any listener longing for a Radiohead stripped of future shock.
-
UncutOct 1, 2014A considerably more fully formed affair, rich in texture and atmosphere, though reprising Familial's aura of downbeat anxiety. [Nov 2014, p.83]
-
Oct 1, 2014It really is a confident collection of varied and sometimes truly interesting songs. [Sep/Oct 2014, p.79]
-
Oct 1, 2014Some of the tracks struggle to hold the listener’s interest.... Nevertheless, there are enough highs on here for this to be considered a very good, warm record.
-
Oct 1, 2014There are enough highlights here that make this a very enjoyable, if unvaried, record.
-
Nov 10, 2014Overall, Weatherhouse is a good album that could be better if it were only redesigned around its own strengths.
-
MojoNov 6, 2014Eclectic as it is, Weatherhouse is largely convincing evidence of a singular voice being belatedly found. [Nov 2014, p.99]
-
Oct 15, 2014The lyrical tone is often foreboding, but Selway's vaporous tenor, which suggests a less paranoid Thom Yorke, is reassuring.
-
Oct 7, 2014Weatherhouse houses its own experiences but could just be listened to as a sub-experience of Radiohead. It shares many of experimental shifts using beat and synths to explore mood, only without the hooks and utterly unique melodies that nobody but Radiohead can produce.
-
Q MagazineOct 3, 2014Selway is a songwriter still new to the task and yet already leaning in toward middle age, and the perspective he brings to writing adult rock music is both fresh and contemplatively knowing. [Nov 2014, p.117]
-
Oct 27, 2014The mask of the brooding troubadour doesn’t quite fit: the LP is marred by below-par, uninspired vocals and rudimentary lyrics.
-
Oct 9, 2014The album is an interesting but probably forgettable footnote in the history of one of the most influential bands of the 21st century.
