Drowned In Sound
Bookended by the fragmented, self-explanatory ‘High Without The Hope’, threadbare’s generous, circular nature is to be applauded; it’s rare that studies of loss are as authentically moving and sensitively played as this – and even rarer they’re so completely endearing

If you're sick of hearing privileged kids whine about their non-problems (or celebrate their privilege), Threadbare's a breath of fresh, sea air.

Threadbare is a bit of a slog to get all the way through in one sitting. The simple addition of two or three more upbeat songs would have gone a long way to breaking up the album’s monotony.

Goodwin’s voice is almost too brittle to handle at times, but overall, it’s a tattered, heartfelt affair.
