  2. 8.0 |   All Music

    A tough edge that speaks to the heart, the soul, and the brain
    Read Review

  3. 7.5 |   Paste Magazine

    Sometimes, it’s just a feeling that radiates from Malin’s songs, which mix punk-rock grit with an unabashed romanticism that heralds rock’n’roll as the ultimate bond

  4. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Malin would've been wise to trim the 13 songs down to 10, thus eliminating the soggy middle of this otherwise crisp platter. Print edition only

  5. 6.7 |   Pitchfork

    While Malin makes the nostalgia generally relatable, he doesn’t evoke the setting with much specificity or detail

    There's a pleasing magpie approach to his songwriting. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   Mojo

Latest Reviews

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
