"A beautiful project, a lovely idea.”
“Songs for Spoken Words is magnificent. Technically dazzling and emotionally involving.”
"...recalling the recent soundtrack works of Johann Johannsson and Scott Twynholm, his music has a brightness and bluster that suggests mechanics happily and magically working towards a greater cause. When he broods, his music still gains a hurried traction... Even at his rawest, Birkin has a penchant for lushness."
“Listen and marvel.”
“The 6 tracks flow together so seamlessly, it begs to be played on repeat. This is music meant for a turntable.”
“…worth the price of admission for the music alone; each tune is engaging, both easy on the ear and able to summon wistful feelings in the listener.”
