Haunting, tender and soothing; but also oftentimes blurry and undefined.
I’ve admired Mac’s sonic palette, voice and songwriting for quite some time—it fits a particular niche within my rotation, especially when I need to unwind. A handful of tracks off of his last fully fledged record, “Here Comes the Cowboy”, I’ve been playing for this reason: despite the underwhelming timbre of that record.

His best pop song, and it’s not close for me. I love this direction. Nice to have something layered, and still thoughtful the way Quadeca is—but also light, fun, catchy.
Just stunning. You can really tell listening to this how undeniable Ed’s ear for atmosphere and musical progression is. The composition weaves in and out of peaks and valleys; huge swells and subtle blips. My favorite track I’ve heard from him, easily. Bravo
One of the most unique, sonically captivating and great performers I’ve had the pleasure of playing on a bill with. My only issue with this record is that it’s too short, but every song is so meticulously crafted and impactful that the concept of the album comes across probably in part due to it. I’m so excited to see these guys hit it big soon.
Sonically and songwriting-wise very underwhelming to me. Kevin doesn’t take the initial idea anywhere interested or rewarding. I did actually enjoy End of Summer for what it’s worth—sadly I found it hard to want to pay attention to this new one.
This one grew on me a lot! The synth work is honestly really cool to listen to, especially as a big fan of techno/electronica/house. It isn’t necessarily what I wanted out of the first lead single off Kevin’s next record, but I can’t deny it being a pretty good listen. The song does meander, but at points it only ever gets a slightly disinteresting; which is better than it being bad.
