Sep 15, 2014Now, in 2014, Vessel has given us one of the year's best electronic music albums, and it's hardly electronic.
-
Sep 15, 2014It’s broodingly mechanic, and yet harrowingly human; it’s truly Bristolian, and neither futuristic nor nostalgic; it’s simply and unignorably now.
-
Sep 15, 2014It all makes for riveting listening for anyone willing to let Vessel punish--and reward--their ears.
-
Sep 15, 2014The compositions here are solid, but it's sonically where Vessel holds his own. In that regard, Punish, Honey is close to perfection.
-
Sep 15, 2014On Punish, Honey, Gainsborough has stepped up his sound design, but he's done so with a newly brutal approach. One hopes that he hasn't entirely abandoned his earlier, more atmospheric sound, but as career turning points and transformations go, this album is an accomplished one.
-
The WireDec 2, 2014Punish, Honey is also a diverse and sonically surprising work, infectiously odd and encouragingly bold. [Oct 2014, p.63]
-
Sep 15, 2014Gainsborough seems to be testing not only what his crude instrumentation can withstand, but also his listeners. For all the physical exertion though, the album sounds surprisingly sexless and apathetic at times.
