DJ Magazine: ****
"Viewfinder is another gorgeous and engaging installment from this talented Maverick".
Sunday Times:
“…that extraordinary voice, baroque-pop instrumentation and his ghost-story lyrics. As before, they conjure a strange, eerie magic here, on standouts such as Burning Sun.”
Uncut: ****
" The Trembling voice still captivates and is at it's most vivid atop a symphony
of plucked guitars on "Burning Sun" and the fragile "Starling".
