PRAISE FOR LOVE:

"Comprising just acoustic guitar, drifty piano taps, and an almost-subliminal percussive rumble, 'Lilac in Hand' is the sort of song that feels light and slight at first-that is, until you realize you're floating high up in the misty mountains 10,000 feet above sea level."

"[Love] pushes those inclinations toward traditional song structures even further, largely abandoning the muffled Syd Barrett modality of past LPs in favor of something more sunny-eyed. 'Lilac In Hand' is one of the record's brightest moments . . . "

"If the cautious pacing and imaginative atmosphere-- who doubles vocal melody with slide guitar these days?-- are any indication, this should be one of the better rock albums of the year, thanks to a keen sense of how to drag 1968's Van Morrison into 2014."
