  1. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    A wonderful collection of music that few songwriters in the UK could possibly hope to emulate

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    His best solo album thus far: 31 taut songs of detailed nostalgia, lost love and wry anger. Print edition only

  3. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A superb reminder of what a unique and valuable artist Hayman continues to be, with or without larger public interest

  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It can’t be said that there is ‘something for everyone’ on this record but there is probably something for most fans of twee indiepop

  5. 6.0 |   Q

    A terrific idea not always terrifically executed. Print edition only

  6. 3.0 |   Bowlegs

    There may be a handful of depressed indie boys that will appreciate this, but many simply won’t have the time or patience for a record of this length and quality

Beth Gibbons  Lives Outgrown

Thirty years after stepping into the spotlight, the Portishead singer reintroduces herself with her debut solo album. History weighs heavy on her songs, but she takes pains to avoid her musical past Pitchfork

Dehd  Poetry

Dehd exude a youthful charm that is hard to replicate on Poetry. They are infectious and their sunny melodies and sincerity make their music compelling PopMatters

Beth Gibbons  Lives Outgrown

Beth Gibbons gives us the understanding of our mortality that we all need on her most revealing work The Quietus
