David Nicholas Soulful vocals pull no punches and make the technology feel organic, like it's not even technical at all.

John Provens III I'm not normally into R&B but I love Public Speaking. I'll admit that the subject left me broken for a few days and on the verge of tears my first few listens. I'd highly recommend anything from Public over any of the R&B in the mainstream industry. Favorite track: Shifting Weight.

Floordoor Records

"Caress, Redact is not only an excellent work on its own merits, but it also excels because it sounds so little like no one (or nothing) else. The songs are all rich in composition but intentionally fragmented and disjointed in their production, channeling the familiar and the alien perfectly. When this is mixed with Harris' strong lyrics and powerful vocals, the combination is compelling and fascinating and stands out exceptionally among this year's best records." - Brainwashed.com

"Comprised from the ground up from samples of manipulated objects: pill bottles, keys jangling, the scrape of mic on wood, these familiar sounds are processed and brought into congregation with lushly composed electro-acoustic arrangements that move from harsh-noise informed blasts to delicate electronic passages… compositions that effortlessly fold in found-sound manipulation with a straightforward pop paradigm… The intersections of physical violence and sexual identity. Family secrets and call-out culture. Brutally honest survivor perspectives and trigger warnings. "Shifting Weight" wades in those murky waters out of necessity. It is easily one of the most powerful songs of 2016. That can be said about the remainder of the album." - Tometotheweathermachine.com
