  1. 9.0 |   God Is In The TV

    2015 may only be a few days old but already we are looking at an early contender for album of the year

  2. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Fans of the first album might be surprised to hear a shift away from carefully drawn laptop-pop to a more lush, organic sound, but it’s a welcome development

  3. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Foreboding as his lyrics often are, there is enormous hope at the heart of this music, and its gentle, almost Elbow-like melodies transform his worries into a warm, soft sanctuary

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Revealing and uplifting. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   Clash

    It’s the perfect accompaniment to bashing away the January blues and starting 2015 with a smile on your face

  6. 7.5 |   The 405

    For the most part, Chromatics is a perfectly nice concoction of charming folk and scatty electronic noise

  7. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Something more intimate and traditionally crafted, exploring the highs and lows of human interaction. Print edition only

  8. 7.0 |   The Digital Fix

    This isn't a particularly surprising record, nor is it very different to a lot of other stuff out currently, but it does happen to be a really pleasant listen

  9. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    On the one hand we have an artist who clearly sounds comfortable and, indeed, successful in what he is doing. Yet on the other we yearn for something a little more intriguing, as seemingly promised to us with Black Light

  10. 6.0 |   Q

    It comes with enough textural twitches and scuffs to underline it’s well-developed sense of weary melancholy. Print edition only
