"Jake Blount reworks traditional spirituals for a future setting on The New Faith and wonders what black music will sound like after climate change".

"The American musician draws on spirituals on this strikingly minimalist album set in a future world devastated by climate change ... An arresting, if not always comfortable creation from an uncommon talent".

"Despite the seriousness of the subject matter and the potential hopelessness of the narrative, The New Faith is an album rich with themes of hope, resilience and salvation. With a keen sense of tradition, Blount has cleverly delivered a bold, thought-provoking and judicious album, but one which is also a thoroughly, staggeringly thrilling listen. Glorious".
