Californian soil

"Californian Soil er (...) en bundsolid treer, hvor London Grammar dog ikke helt når de følelsesmæssige dybder, de ramte med sange (...) fra deres første to album. Måske gør det højere tempo og det generelt lidt mere poppede udtryk, at London Grammar opleves marginalt mindre vedkommende denne gang. Omvendt er det dog godt med lidt udvikling hos gruppen, og de er bestemt stadig værd at lytte til. Og Hannah Reid er fortsat en vokalist ud over det sædvanlige ... I forhold til forgængerne er albummet overordnet lidt mere poppet og up-tempo".

"Altogether, this meditative journey soothes and nourishes, transforming heartbreak and pain into an opportunity for growth, bolstered with some of the best production sonics that the trio have ever delivered. Californian Soil is a standout in London Grammar's catalog and a significant step forward in the trio's artistic maturation".

"Despite missteps, California Soil expands the scope of London Grammar's electronic-pop formula and the themes of their songwriting. There's nothing as intimate as breakthrough single "Hey Now," but in return, the greater variety avoids the sameness of past albums. While Soil doesn't always fulfill their ambition, it still suggests that the more sound this group makes, the more they're worth hearing".
