  1. 9.0 |   The Quietus

    An outstanding record, and one that beautifully showcases the two sides of Halperin: the ability to craft an economical and immediate pop hook, as well as his love of heavy instrumental layers, interweaving parts and rangy, opus-like songs

  2. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    A collection of some very good songs and rarely misses its mark

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    CY's more angular edges are absent on Halperin's new project, but that's no bad thing. Print edition only
