Entertainment Reviews:
Uncut - p.83
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he fragile jailbreak ballad '17 Hills' recaptures the misty-eyed romance of Dolby's best 1980s work."Magnet - p.53
"FLOATING CITY showcases Dolby's estimable strengths: synth-pop pioneer, jazz-pop swinger, roots crooner, ambient-pop balladeer, epic pop/rock dream-weaver, with supporting brilliance from Mark Knopfler, Regina Spektor, Imogen Heap and Bruce Woolley."Q (Magazine) - p.126
3 stars out of 5 -- "[H]e's turned his back on electro flourishes in favour of a melodic approach. It works."Mojo (Publisher) - p.103
4 stars out of 5 - "[T]his album moves from clipped, urban and funky to country rock and lilting bossa nova....A punchy, lyrical and moving set."Record Collector (magazine) - p.92
