  1. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    Like much classical music, Salon des Amateurs rewards patience, but fans of Reich and Philip Glass can only appreciate what Hauschka has to offer here

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    As infectious and disarming as it is genre-defying. Print edition only

    It's a joy to listen to, and one of the brightest, most invigorating records I've heard all year
