“City Music maps a landscape of uncertainty and wonder, Morby first steadying the wheel with his sure songwriting, then letting it spin. We’ve all been there, but not quite like this.”
– Q Magazine – 4 Stars ****
“City Music evokes the Velvets, Dylan and Patti Smith, simultaneously celebrating and mourning the Big Apple’s changes.”
– Uncut – 9/10
“City living might sometimes feel like a constant high–intensity assault course, but City Music and its creator make it sound like an enlightening, emboldening adventure.”
– DIY – 4 Stars
“It feels like Kevin Morby is eager to reach a new horizon… This is a very natural sounding record, effortless in form, stylistically distinct and completely coherent, that shimmers with a lazy cool.”
– Loud & Quiet – 8/10
“A charmingly wide–eyed record, City Music is the equal of anything in Kurt Vile or Mac Demarco’s canons, let alone his own formidable catalogue.”
– London In Stereo
“Channelling Lou Reed, Velvet Underground and Patti Smith, this is about cities glimpsed in poetic, fragmentary dreams.”
