“an exquisitely eclectic portrait of grief”
“Dev Hynes’ elegant new album, his first in six years, inhabits memories of an English childhood filled with joy, pain, and music.”
“Enigmatic U.K. musician Dev Hynes delivers a quietly intoxicating LP”
“stunning reflections on the meaning of home”
“Dev Hynes translates nebulous abstraction without veering into didacticism or appearing overwrought. In his hands, grief becomes amorphous, resisting cliche and expectations—much like the artist himself.”
“Essex Honey doesn't have quite as many attention-grabbing moments as Dev's last couple of albums.”
