"The title of Tom Skinner's first release under his own name is a reference to cellist Abdul Wadud's ultra-rare 1978 solo album ‘By Myself', which Skinner listened to repeatedly during lockdown. (...) This is a classic-sounding record that connects backwards to Skinner's 2017 Hello Skinny collaboration with American composer and Arthur Russell-collaborator Peter Zummo on ‘Watermelon Sun'. It links sideways to Makaya McCraven's beat maker-inspired treatments of jazz sessions, and it offers a musical bridge to Sons of Kemet's most meditative moments." (Brownswood)
