It’s like 10 Paul Simon solo LPs fused into one misshapen but curiously beautiful lump.
Some of the experiments here may work better than others in the long term, but it is far better that Beam is an artist prepared to take risks.
More than being just another great album, it suggests a brilliant and unpredictable future.
It showcases a more than self-sufficient songwriter who prefers to discover the fruits of collaboration.
These songs are generally not the type to grab you right away, but there's enough mystery and melody there to call you back.
For the most part, there’s simply a hell of a lot going on instrumentally, and it’s almost too much to take in.
Most of Kiss Each Other Clean lacks a certain audacity that might bring it closer to its “radio-friendly” ambitions.
