Disappointingly under-acknowledged in the wider musical sphere, this record is proof that Dewollf are one of the more interesting bands to spring from the post-White Stripes boom, even if it’s all relatively safe.

Doldrums has made a bold statement in Lesser Evil: frailty and humanity is present in even the least connected ideas.

This record will please most with an ear for indie and acoustic pop, but only the most diehard would call the album essential.

His previous outings haven’t been stellar, but they’ve at least been built on more solid ideas than this.

This is a very good, intermittently great album that just barely fails to escape the ideas that define its sounds.

Somewhere Else is more than a sign of things to come; it’s a very good record on its own merits, just one that will hopefully be eclipsed by future efforts.

Quarrels is an album of decade-old sounds – when Explosions In The Sky were still, well, exploding – but it’s done too well to ignore.

The humanity and humour of the band – and the joy they took in performing – couldn’t be held back.
