CRITIC REVIEWS

PopMatters

The Morning Star is a sometimes difficult, thorny collection of sounds, but also a quiet, almost Zen-like meditation. It's a gigantic leap forward for this "outsider" artist who already seemed to be several steps ahead of the norm.

AllMusic

The Morning Star is at once brave and solitary, gentle and bracing, provocative and spiritually resonant. It extends Bachman's reach, allowing him to paint the innermost dimensions of the world he perceives and cleave it open for light to flood in and illuminate it for us.

The Guardian

This is involving, immersive stuff, not for the faint-hearted, but its rewards are deep and wide.

76
Pitchfork

No longer content to play music tethered to the past, the Virginia guitarist uses field recordings and unsettling ambient experiments to remake his virtuosic folk compositions for the present.
