Send A Prayer My Way
Send a Prayer My Way sounds more like the twinkly, pastoral indie-folk Baker makes than the dramatic engaging bubblegum grunge Torres makes, but it’s still a step far enough away from either body of work that it hits you like a breath of fresh air

Send A Prayer My Way
The two songwriters’ collaboration album is a refreshing exploration of new territory for them, even if it doesn’t always connect
NME
Tunde Adebimpe
Thee Black Boltz
He isn’t trying too hard to eclipse the likes of Panda Bear or LCD Soundsystem, but he clearly just shows that he’s got plenty still to offer, and he seems incredibly content in doing so
Far Out

Thee Black Boltz
By the time closer ‘Streetlight Nuevo’ arrives, it’s clear we’ve witnessed something special – an artist taking full creative flight. ‘Thee Black Boltz’ pushes boundaries while remaining incredibly enjoyable
Dork

Thee Black Boltz
It really spotlights his artistry and musical intelligence ranging from indie, electronic and folk. With so much going on it would be easy for it to be overbearing but he finds a way to bring it all together and flow wonderfully

Thee Black Boltz
Though the apple doesn't fall far from the electronic/art-rock tree, the writing isn't as fully realised as TVOTR's and the playing lacks their meaty resonance. Print edition only
Uncut

Thee Black Boltz
More a shiny recalibration of TVOTR's high-density art rock than a radical restart, especially of their more electronic, funky and pop-facing side. Print edition only
Mojo

Thee Black Boltz
Adebimpe's solo bow is a bracingly personal blast of emotion, invention and radiant positivity. Print edition only
Record Collector
Tunde Adebimpe
Thee Black Boltz
The TV on the Radio singer sharpens his voice on his debut solo album, using bold synth melodies and driving beats as the backdrop to some of his most nuanced performances yet
Pitchfork
Tunde Adebimpe
Thee Black Boltz
Even though Thee Black Boltz may fall short in comparison with the band’s best records, it still offers flashes of brilliance and maybe even some comfort if you’re going through a difficult patch
The Line Of Best Fit

Thee Black Boltz
As much a rebirth as it is a document of survival
