- Dec 11, 2025An album that sounds both cosily intimate and impressively ambitious at the same time, and presents as one hell of a calling card for Dove Ellis. This looks to be the beginning of an incredibly exciting journey.
- Dec 5, 2025At times, the picked and strummed guitars, rolling 70s rock piano, wind instruments and clattering percussion are interspersed with random noises and distortion, but somehow everything seems to have fallen perfectly into place on a glorious debut.
- MojoDec 9, 2025Not only because of Ellis's extraordinary vocal command and gasp of dynamics but because his songs manage to be both mysteriously personal and yet immediately emotionally resonant. [Feb 2026, p.80]
- Dec 5, 2025Though he could push his sound to be a bit more personal, he’s already armed with a generational voice, an explorative mindset and a singular writing style. Something exciting is bound to emerge from the storm.
- Dec 5, 2025He thrives in this intersection of extremes: there are moments of overwhelming emotional release, such as the swell and drop of ‘Tie Your Hair Up’, but there are also glimmers of delicacy.
- Dec 5, 2025The fuzz caked like dust onto Ellis’ demo mixtape has been cleaned off on Blizzard thanks to its proper mix and production job, allowing his extraordinary flirtations with folk music to shine.
- Dec 18, 2025The moments of direct storytelling feel more tantalizing considering how little we know about the writer.
