Critical Reaction to Songs For Separation:
‘Recorded on analogue 4-track but sounding anything but lo-fi, this is an album, as footie pundits might say, of two halves. [Side One’s] six tracks [are] emotionally direct [and] richly melodic … while Side Two’s [30-minute] Home For Me is equal parts meditational fever dream and end-of-night comedown. But really, all killer, no filler.’
