“Time and again, the album testifies to Wallmann’s strength as a writer when an ear-catching theme’s at the heart of each composition; you may well find them echoing in your head long after the tracks are finished. In being given material so strong to work with, it’s no surprise that the musicians responded so enthusiastically in their performances”
