"Residing in the region of classic Americana and US folk (Townes Van Zandt, et al), Blek's previous albums have been themed around various topics, most recently, his 2019 album, Thistle & Thorn, which was described by The Irish Times as an "ode to nature" - and Embers is no different ... If an artist's fifth album could be said to constitute a body of work, then Blek's creativity is in very good, possibly rude health".

"The fifth album from the fingerpicking Cork singer-songwriter, conceived as the third in a series of four thematically-based releases that began with Catharsis Vol 1, The Embers comes steeped in reflections on the aftermath of the fires that no longer burn, change in both political and personal senses ... The Embers is a musically low key affair, arrangements subtly shading and underscoring its lyrical concerns, but also one that often also strikes you with the force of a hammer wrapped up in muslin".
