"Mighty, powerful songs whose instrumentation conveys big, bold joy ... White Lighter takes the promise they've shown and delivers completely. The uplifting melodies and rhythms that sway and swing, mixed with lyrics about hopeless dreams and cold realities, works so well." - NPR's All Songs Considered  Young Fathers is a "mind-boggling chunk of orchestral pop ... this latest epic dives into the group's enormous range: Morton's earnest vocals lead the charge, his wondrous delivery flanked by left-field riffage, sudden fits of silence, chirping backup singers, and triumphant horns - and those are just a few of the sounds thriving inside 'Young Fathers.'" - Spin Magazine "White Lighteris built on the urgency of death and the beautifully fleeting nature of life: Morton unspools his tortured poetry over lush blankets of sound - pianos and guitars and multiple drum kits; horns and strings swelling to angelic crescendos." - Paste Magazine
"[Young Fathers] just grabs you right from the beginning. It jolts you. You think, almost, it's by accident. But there's this huge and complex sound coming from [11 members] ... there are these big, booming, sweeping, majestic pieces all in the same song. And the juxtaposition, to me, is very powerful."- NPR's Here & Now
