Rolling Stone - p.60

Spin - p.88

"[A] testament to spiritual resilience....He sounds both worldly-wise and reborn."

Uncut

Uncut - p.34

Billboard - "Rhythmic slam delivery over a minimalist industrial beat weaves a gray tapestry of life on 'Your Soul and Mine,' and 'On Coming From a Broken Home' is a touching tribute..."

Mojo (Publisher) - p.53

Ranked #29 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "I'M NEW HERE is hard, real and vital."
Paste (magazine) (p.60) - "The album sounds heavy and elusive, like a field recording, and it will surely be studied with the most powerful of cultural microscopes..."
