  1. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    More than modern mood music, A Long Way to Fall is the crest of a sonic mountain that hasn’t previously been explored quite so thoroughly
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    A step back to his roots but ultimately a step forward for electronic music

  3. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Long Place To Fall might not be outlandish enough to acquire Ulrich Schnauss an entire new legion of fans, but those discovering him for the first time could find far worse places to start

  4. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Like much of Schnauss’ work, A Long Way To Fall is best at its most violent
    Read Review

  5. 6.8 |   Beats Per Minute

    By no means a bad album, but I have to ask myself: why would I elect to listen to this instead of Schnauss’s earlier and better two efforts?

  6. 6.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    More chilly than chilled this time, not always making for an easy listen, but there’s certainly a process at play here

  7. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Schnauss expands his remit. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Schnauss could do with taking a more dramatic step out of his comfort zone. Print edition only

  9. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    Whatever it lacks in narrative coherence, Long Way makes up for in its ornate construction

  10. 5.0 |   DIY

    Too immersed in picture perfect punctiliousness for this to make any lasting impression

  11. 4.3 |   Pitchfork

    Fall's worst moments are queasy and charmless

Hovvdy  Hovvdy

The Austin duo’s hushed and unassuming double album is a capstone to their career so far, a scrapbook of moments of love and loss from a life well-lived Pitchfork

Hovvdy  Hovvdy

The pair have fully blossomed from their early DIY start, showcasing an incredible range of indie pop craftsmanship and a grounded centredness built on empathy and understanding Exclaim

Hovvdy  Hovvdy

If at times you crave for something unhinged across these 19 songs, the sonic equivalent of a psychic break to disrupt the constant temperate mood, you inevitably fall back on Martin and Taylor’s fluid warmth.
