Richard Haswell
With The Changing Light (2021)
“..an album that conjures the 1980s like few
other new works I’ve heard in recent years. Such is the power of
the album."Old
Grey Cat
“..mesmerising...emotive...nostalgic..so much
to enjoy.” Rating 9/10 Maximum
Volume Music
..a great rock record (with electronica and
jazzy subtitles) that holds a winning poker hand of classic
sounds, yet successfully discards three of any kind, just to try
something new...it just cuts weird new blood.”
Folking.com
Lamp Black (2017)
"Gothic and dark...sweeping and majestic...this is a strong
album. If your tastes run to the kind of experimental trance
atmospheric music that you didn't think existed anymore, this
album is for you."
Fatea
Magazine
"Rich in guitar and atmospherics...stately and elegant."

"wonderfully inventive and anthemic pop music of the kind few even try to make any more...like a journey through a peculiarly personal, and tasteful, history of great indie/pop/rock of the last 40 odd years...one of the best of the year. Richard Haswell is a man to sit up and take notice of." Scots Whae Hae
“… has an edge unlike anything else currently on the radio….it
has an epic appeal, making waves across ages and miles… it
consumes your being.” Skope
Magazine
"like the sonic result of Peter Gabriel entering a 1990s indie
club.” Leonard’s
Lair
“a finely polished and intelligently crafted album that
manages to plant itself nicely between the familiar and the
ever-so-slightly unconventional, and pulls it off very well
indeed. Hear-Feel
“a brilliant writing style, both lyrically and instrumentally…a
wonderfully strong album...a rich and rewarding experience…
echoing remnants of big artists such as David Bowie, Nick Cave
and/or perhaps Peter Gabriel.” The

"...a remarkable thing - a strange lo-fi tardis of an album
whose nine subtle songs unroll from the speakers like a
soundtrack to some bedsit kingdom...the thrill here is great
songwriting with an appearance of effortlessness."
The Word
“… like a bedroom Radiohead…an inspired arranger and sonic
visionary throughout these nine DIY voyages into sound…
skittering electronic aesthetics, experimentation, and
impressive shards of noise.” Americana
UK
"… solid from start to finish, there isn't a bad track on the
album… his level of consistency over the years without any major
financial backing is something that can only be admired.
Acoustic fans could do worse than to pick up this long player.”
AllGigs.co.uk
“ …accomplished and grown-up, his 20 self-released album
experience shines through .”
Joe’s Big Toe Fanzine
“...echoes of classic Scottish guitar pop …a soundtrack for the
shadows, I can see this album having a resonance for a lot of
people in these days of recession and depression.”
Bluesbunny Music Reviews
“uncommonly delicate …there is a lot to enjoy on this album,
especially if you have some spare time to lie perfectly still.”
Is
This Music
“…subtle…a pastoral dreamlike atmosphere... rich with experience
…different enough to mark him out as a true independent artist.”
Leonard’s Lair
“Haswell's voice is a cracked, expressive instrument
..consistently engaging ... there are some great melodies and
hooks hidden amongst the records layers of loops, synths and
guitar.” Subba-Cultcha
“... reveals an admirable lightness of touch
based on quite simple but endearing guitar motifs…what he does
best is understated acoustic guitar-based musing particularly on
highlights like “Arise” which is how you guess Roy Harper and
Pink Floyd might have sounded had they renewed their musical
collaboration beyond “Have a Cigar”. Terrascope

"Majestic..a wonderful and moving record.. made even more so by
the sparse instrumentation and simplicity of the lyrics which
give the whole album a spectral beauty without ever becoming
verbose or overwrought...Artists such as Rhubarb, who shun the
trappings of a music industry obsessed with the ephemeral to
create music simply for the joy of doing so, should be
cherished." ***** Amazon.co.uk

..glorious, like rain in a desert…a subtle record with the atmosphere of a storm… chaotic and brooding with flashes of incredible brilliance and loud bangs. The songs buffet the listener from one emotion to another, and it is all in the music, which creates a magical experience. A listener should be touched whilst in its presence, even if one is unsure of why." ClickMusic

wider acclaim.”
