PITCHFORK
It's something of a triumph for Thorburn, to match his most emotionally devastating material yet with music that's so close-sounding and unassumingly, unabashedly pretty.

PASTE
It’s an inspired look at the grieving human heart. And one of the best Islands records so far, to boot.
73
BEATS PER MINUTE
While A Sleep & A Forgetting is a bold new statement for the band, the album occasionally treads on the mundane level, due to its similarly-orchestrated tracks.
70
POPMATTERS
That infectious, childlike zeal was so integral to the first part of their career that A Sleep is jarringly unfamiliar at first.
60
NO RIPCORD
It's just that, well, it gets a bit boring, a bit sleepy, and altogether, it's a bit forgettable.
