    This is a quiet triumph that is remarkably captivating and doesn’t need any up-to-the-minute technological tools to improve it further.

    Its eight songs are distinct and stirring. [Jul 2013, p.80]

    Buzzing with delicate analogue warmth, the gamelan rhythms, toy-piano chimes and warped guitar loops or Walking Field are lullingly hypnotic and eerily deja entendu. [Jul 2013, p.87]

    A pleasant bedroom-style record that sometimes sounds more like rough sketches than fully formed ideas. [No.99, p.58]

    There's a living-room warmth to the sound and an elbow-close intimacy. [Jun-Jul 2013, p.99]
