  2. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    A compact but concentrated dose of poison

  4. 8.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Ever the underdog, Harcourt has yet to take a real misstep in his mighty seven album run, a feat far too few will ever match. A hidden genius

  5. 7.0 |   NME

    Ed Harcourt has been maturing in the shadows. He’s gradually turned into a stylish modernist cross between Anna Calvi, Nick Cave, Florence Welch and James Blake

  7. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Goes to the brink but never quite falls over the edge. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   musicOMH

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
