"According to Mumford, the album represents a place where 'order meets chaos and shelter meets wilderness' – and if that sounds like some bullshit, it’s because it is."

"Soon, the two giant (apparently 33 metres tall) screens behind the stage split to reveal Swift’s silhouette, poised and, well …Ready For It."

"Solace is a melancholy and introspective album that does not play to the group’s strengths."

"The Bamboos are a peerless band in many respects."

"'Café Oblivion' shares its lush and orchestral qualities with its predecessor; the influence of Bacharach is a constant presence."

"The resulting catharsis is one that feels grounded in realism and optimism, despite a few uneven tracks."

"While Lenker has mentioned the band has been on tour for over six months, they've given us something to remember for at least twice that amount of time, after which we'll hopefully be seeing them again."
