Press Quotes for Becoming:
“One of the most beautiful singer-songwritings of 2017” – MusicMap
“Loosely curved songwriting mixes lo-fi synths and sometimes hectic rhythmic particles with sensual-lost melodies, so light yet so expressive that it’s a real pleasure.” – Intro
“Darker and more intriguing than the first opus…Gil retains a free, modern spirit that propels his music beyond the Folk label…Simply beautiful.” – La Magic Box
“A child of the spirit of the times, that Hockman” – Gonzo Circus
“Placing itself between art-folk, classic rock and indie-pop, finding in each genre all that can stick together with strong and intelligent melodies.” – Liability
“Ten charming, beguiling lo-fi pieces” – NONPOP
“A disarmed mix of tradition and the future. With his futuristic folk, including folktronics and indietronics, he brings his songs to the audience in a golden way.” – De Subjectivisten
“An album that brings Conor Oberst closer to Elliot Smith via Mark Kozelek.” – Rumore
“A refined pop that has an affinity with the solo Damon Albarn” – Rockerilla
“Gil Hockman seduced in 2015 with the album Dolorous . Without much change to his melancholy folk pop style, he comes back with 10 adorable songs.” – Pop Revue Express
“The songs are mostly in minor colors, but this is the sadness called sweet, they listen with pleasure and you regret when they end.” – Jazzquad
