    It proves gloriously uninhibited. [Sep 2014, p.117]

    It works as an homage but also as a reminder that specific eras, places, styles and sounds can live on as a state of mind.

    Wildest Dreams despite its unapologetic retro stance, is a wild wide. [Aug 2014, p.58]

    The instrumental and production prowess on display is fairly stunning.

    It's strictly a mood piece, complete with daffy lyrics about mermaids, bicycles and "Gypsy Tears." [Aug 2014, p.81]
