On time online Sebastian Handke writes on 7 February 2011:

" The solitude that speaks of this music, is not it ironic and decadent as formerly, but gentle, ambiguous, animated by a peculiar shrouded passion. It is an appropriation of Glam, as only is possible in 2011. , With all the influences of new folk and indie rock [ ... ]
