Studio zoo

"Faulkner is forever fretting and apologising for his very existence, to the point of telling his girlfriend, on At the Seams: "As if your life wasn't hard enough, you chose me." Had he stopped burying the emotions under passive-aggressive sweetness and let his voice ratchet up a few notches, this could have been an interesting album. The place to start would have been the aptly titled opener, Where to Start, in which José Gonzálezish dream-pop strumming damps down the frustration of romantic disappointment".

"Faulkner may never again be able to reach the outstanding songwriting ability and consistency that his debut album showcased; but his lyrical, vocal and instrumental talents are just as good (if not better) than ever. More than anything, he proves that he is still a master at evoking, controlling and directing the emotions of his audience, and it is at this that he truly excels on Studio Zoo".
