A remarkable first outing. Print edition only

The album’s unconventional non-linear structure recalls Joanna Newsom, with whose voice Leschper’s bears comparison

Nothing is overstated but it’s in the little flairs of trickery, littered throughout each track that Mothers really come alive

8.0 | The Line Of Best Fit

It’s a record as much about falling apart as it is putting yourself back together and undoubtedly one of the debuts of the year so far

7.0 | Exclaim
