It seems that ‘Californian Soil’ is certainly getting the praise with the press. Check out what they say, below:
“Hypnotically compelling…[Californian Soil] has a soft power that leaves you shaking” – The Daily Telegraph 4* (Album of the Week)
“Melodies feel constructed around the cathedral architecture of her pure, classically influenced vocals, which rise in soaring – often breathy – arches capable of carrying more emotional weight than you’d expect” – The Independent 4*
“A big new sound for a big year ahead…irresistible” – Evening Standard 4*
“A new energy saturates ‘Californian Soil’. Fizzing with club sounds and filled with bright lyricism, London Grammar are more confidant, and more fun, than they’ve ever been” – NME 4*
“Californian Soil’ is an unmissable foray in pop, rich in meaning and abundant in bangers” – Dork 4*
“Californian Soil, an album that puts the onus on the trio’s pop credentials, as well as their skill as moody balladeers” – Daily Mail 4*
“The trio’s trademark chilled Balearic beats are back. Better still, Hannah Reid’s voice and lyrics are stronger than ever” – Daily Star 4*
“A nudging departure from the grandiose continuity of Truth Is a Beautiful Thing, Californian Soil is indicative of the band incrementally tweaking their immaculate heart-rending aesthetic” – The Line Of Best Fit 9/10
“It’s also a record of sheer beauty and one that finds London Grammar at the absolute top of their game” – Clash 8/10
