Obladada: Called it a “staggering” overview of his career, specifically highlighting that even his teenage compositions are “nothing short of staggering” and “knock you sideways from pure dazzling creativity.”<\/p>\n

2. Himalaya (2019)<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Wire (Best of 2019, #14): Remarked that “the world\u2019s pop music has become putty in Stone\u2019s hands,” and that each piece feels like it could “reassemble its particles infinitely.”<\/p>\n

3. Baroo (2019)<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Relix: Described the album as “hypercaffeinated” and “music that can hit your ear holes like a DMT flash,” praising Stone\u2019s “speed-racer loops.”<\/p>\n

4. Stolen Car (2020)<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
