  6. 8.7 |   Beats Per Minute

    Hopkins’ roadmap is splendidly plotted, taking the right amount of time to deliver you to your destination and showing you the detours you didn’t even know you wanted to see
    Read Review

  7. 8.5 |   Pitchfork

    It all adds up to a remarkably visceral, sensual, confident electronic record that stays absorbing from beginning to end, and should finally catapult Hopkins to stardom in his own story

    Hopkins is working on large-scale art but also in miniature, focusing our ears in on small details while stretching everything out to an impressive degree

  13. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    Succeeds in marrying both sides of his varied palette
    Read Review

  14. 8.0 |   Uncut

    He may have worked with some incredible producers and artists in the past but this individual piece of work is something he can be very much proud of
    Read Review

  18. 8.0 |   Time Out

    It’s complicated without being off-putting; euphoric but not tacky; and human at the same time as being mechanical. Frankly, it’s an amazing achievement
    Read Review

  19. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Like the majority of media consumers who prefer to stay engaged with their tech, Immunity attests that technology can be a tool for a new era of collective human existence
    Read Review

  20. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    Hopkins has come into his own: there are a few squawks and glitches that suggest that he’s aware of his 2013 peers, but Immunity nonetheless feels like a timeless document

  21. 8.0 |   NME

    Immunity is expertly paced, and as good for coming down as it is for coming up. Print edition only

    The thinking person’s Gui Boratto, a more moderate Four Tet
    Read Review

  26. 6.0 |   Blurt

    I like Immunity best in its quietest moments, in the creaking, scratching interstices of its title track (which may, in fairness, be because of the shreds of King Creosote’s singing woven into the music), and in the wistful chord-shifts of “Abandon Window”
