...creates slower, warmer melodies is impressive. While the found sound production aesthetic of his past work is still noticeable, the increased presence of electric guitar allows the structure of each track to catch hold. Filtered through a resonating old gramophone-type effect, the guitar acts sort of like sun glare, transfiguring the simple chord progressions and also making them perfect sleep music. “Lovers Carvings,” in particular, features ideally lustrous guitar work that gets along well with a late afternoon outdoor nap. Wilkinson’s real skill, though, is crafting the faultless head...

His own childhood melted by fame, Michael tried obsessively to keep his sons and daughter from being burned by its glare. They didn't go to school; they appeared in public masked and veiled. And so it was almost a shock to see them, with the TV camera behaving cautiously at first, sweeping over them discreetly as they sat with their aunts and uncles and grandparents...
