"Let's leave lachrymal, glitchy bellends Jamie xx, Woon and James Blake to their pissy-eyed cyber wailing - Welsh pianist, singer, and published PhD student Catherine Anne Davies is way smarter than them. Atop string backing, she captures the moment after the bawling ends - when natural opiates flood the brain and much more complex emotions and sensations ensue. She has a wry dig at Moz on 'Yeats Is On Mine', while 'Grow Out' sounds like an Anglo-Celtic Tori Amos discovering the joys of Michael Nyman. Add to this a surprisingly stunning, pared to the bone version of Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' and you've got a mini-album that's really worth crying about - 8/10."
