Pitchfork
Spare, subtle, often quiet, filled with breathable patches of between-the-beats negative space, and yet there's so much happening beneath the surface that it doesn't really scan as sedate. This is music that knocks you over with a feather

The Quietus
It feels like songs, pop songs, are fertile ground for Cooly - and, with a bit of graft and luck, something brilliant will come of it. Playin' Me is halfway there - or two thirds, maybe

AU Review
As the title implies, it deals with infatuation gone awry, but the South London producer covers both the darker and lighter ends of the spectrum
