But for All These Shrinking Hearts is the fifth studio album by Australian musician, Josh Pyke.

[4] James Di Fabrizio from Beat Magazine said the album found Pyke "in the middle ground between consolidating and experimenting with his lyrically illustrative and classically melodic style."

Di Fabrizio said "Lyrically, much of the album deals with Pyke's relationship with creativity and his longstanding pursuit of it.

"[5] Elisa Parry from Music Feeds said "While But for All These Shrinking Hearts has everything you'd want from a Josh Pyke album – intricate melodies, exquisite harmonies and choruses that will worm their way into your head after just one listen – there's also a whole lot more going on here."

Thematically it all comes back to the idea of motion, of moving forward creatively, personally and as a society.
