  "His unassuming vocals quiver and crack with emotion, giving the impression not of a person who can't feel, but of one who must be cautious of feeling too much. That's a common symptom of being a teenager, which Lacey is. So it's extra-impressive that Plantation never goes over the top. Instead, this highly personalized fusion of dark indie-pop and laptop ambient taps into volatile wellsprings of longing, resentment, and fear with controlled intensity." - Pitchfork [7.7], Brian Howe

 "Plantation unfolds itself song by song much like a film does scene by scene. And also much like a movie, the listener discovers something previously unnoticed (and therefore unappreciated) with each replay. Thus, Malcolm Lacey has achieved with Plantation what most artists cannot in a career: to create an album that betters itself with each listen." - Lost In The Sound [97/100], Jeff Wilde 

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
