Four star reviews from Mojo and Uncut

Mojo’s Martin Aston writes: “… torchy, mirror-ball beauty. These are his silkiest arrangements yet, but shadowy undercurrents ensure the tension never lets up.”

Uncut’s Stephen Trousse’s only reference point seems to be U2, but that’s alright since he writes: “Friday shamelessly rekindles the Eno/Lanois unforgettable shimmer, croons against the dying of the light, and somehow emerges defiantly alive.”
