Critic Reviews

80
AllMusic
Though nowhere near as minimal as his earlier material, Betke sculpts his tracks with a consideration that makes even a densely layered piece like the title track feel spare and hypnotic.

Pitchfork

Tempus ... shares the melancholic mood of Fading, extending that album’s musical palette with decaying percussion and piano that sound like artifacts of the past struggling to remain in the present.

70
Uncut

Tempus is framed as a natural extension of 2020's Fading, an album about dementia and the aging process.

60
Mojo

Reflecting, perhaps, the ageing process for Betke himself, progress on Tempus is overwhelmingly serene.
