Excerpt: "Beautiful summery album from the New York composer and multi-instrumentalist. The  first surprise is that Mr Bennett has an appealingly reedy voice (sometimes reminiscient of Bob Mould, to my ears), for someone whose last album was  wholly instrumental. Like that album, the Beach Boys' trademark left-right  keyboard alternations are evident here, along with some pleasantly disorientating  slide guitar. There's the wonderful wooziness of 'EPO', with its whistled  main melody and dreamy high-register synths, recalling Angelo Badalamenti soundtracks (indeed, the instrumental coda, 'Green Memories', with  its ominous, shifting keyboard patterns, would be right at home in a David  Lynch film.) The samba shuffle of 'Night Part 1' also stands out, with a beautiful vibes arrangement, capped with an ecstatic double saxophone  solo over church organ. The overall mood though, despite the uplifting textures,  is something like displacement, which after all is one effect of being on  holiday. Highly recommended."
