The Line of Best Fit 7/10 The Londoner's fourth album is a disquieting listen that reflects the times.

The Skinny 4/5 The latest album from Ghostpoet, Dark Days & Canapés is an expertly crafted assault on the fallacy that ignorance is bliss.

Under The Radar 8.0/10 The fourth album from Ghostpoet isn't an easy listen. Obaro Ejimiwe's voice is most often a growl, lingering over his sparse rock beats and guitar-driven melodies with a subtle audacity.

The Observer 4/5 (PIAS)

Loud and Quiet 7/10 The fourth album from the x2 Mercury Prize nominated Obaro Ejimiwe - aka Ghostpoet - is an LP that captures the unease of the times.

Spectrum Culture 55% Dark Days and Canapés has a way of sounding monotonous.
