Here's what The Music's writers rated in 2018...
"What. Is. That. Voice? It's like nothing you've ever heard before."
"Is it possible to out-Bjork Bjork? If so, we reckon Sumney just did and all wanna make out with him in a car pronto."
"We're still shaking our heads in impressed disbelief."
"An inherently Pentecostal atmosphere took hold as audience members raised their hands in joyful confusion."
"People think they know me because I make intimate music, and they don't. It's important for people to understand that."
