    My favorite album of theirs to date, and I was a very big fan of Astro Coast and Pythons, different as they were. Many critics seem to go starry eyed when pop artists lean towards rock, but so much less so in the other direction - which is dumb. I feel like the amount of craft needed to make a record like 1000 Palms gets totally slept on. I love a lot of these songs and like all of them.My favorite album of theirs to date, and I was a very big fan of Astro Coast and Pythons, different as they were.

    This guileless, wistfully romantic harmony pop suits them much better. [Jul 2015, p.96]

    Up front, Island is punk-pop par excellence, while, toward the end, Dorian's a blissful medium pacer about carefree journey home. [Jul 2015, p.114]

    The bottom line: if you're looking for an intelligent summer record then hit download immediately.
