“No matter what he does, there’s always a sense of playfulness and joy in Paddy’s music”
– Peter McGoran, Hot Press (8/10)
“...a tremendously expansive synth-driven record…”
– Zara Hedderman, The Bad Arts
“A wonderfully idiosyncratic musician, crafting songs that could have something classicist and occasionally straight-up Old World to them, but filtering them through a modern disposition” Stereogum
“Beautifully crafted, thoughtful work”
