“Zeros is Declan McKenna evolving into one of the brightest and the best”
“pop’s deep thinker loves to boogie on retro-futuristic second album”
“The cover of Declan McKenna’s second album features a blurred photo of its 21-year-old author against a black background. He’s reaching out to the listener, casually dressed for an appearance on Top of the Pops at the height of the three-day week in 1974: his unzipped metallic jumpsuit sparkling in the soft lighting, its shoulders so exaggerated their outer limits are level with his mouth. McKenna”
“Nodding to Bowie and the Beatles on songs about climate change and capitalism, the 21-year-old songwriter roots his political critique in the rich tradition of British protest rock.”
“Much of Zeros comes across as glammy pastiche.”
