    While not as ambitious as it could have been, Your Wilderness serves as a needed push in a new direction for Soord and co. Whether Harrison remains in the band or not, this will hopefully stand in their impressive discography as a stepping stone to even more lofty explorations for the future.

    The lack of variation creates a series of lovely, sad, but blurry episodes in an extended work rather than strong individual tracks. That said, this is a marked return to form for the Pineapple Thief; it delivers back to fans a sound most have been missing for years.

    Your Wilderness does reveal this band’s skill in balancing individually accessible tracks with a larger emotive concept.

    If you're kind of person who needs some wallop in your music, Your Wilderness is probably not for you. However, if you're partial to ethereal music so gentle it feels like it might break if you pay too much attention to it, then prepare to fall in love. [20 Aug 2016, p.68]

    It's atmospheric and even moving, but sometimes feels like drowning slowly in a flotation tank with The Bends playing on repeat shuffle. [Sep 2016, p.111]
