    Im not normally one for listening to full albums beyond the first 6 songs, but this makes me a complete convert! Although 'She's a Witch' is only a moderately strong single for dream pop/alternative in my opinion, the real gems are to be found deeper in with 'Powder', 'Embers' and 'Fade 2 Black' my personal highlights - all could get mere deserved recognition!

    As debuts go, it’s not on the same level as their mates Wolf Alice, but it is a compelling listen and a worthy addition to any burgeoning music library.

    It’s still a work that’s defined by its own dynamism. Anyone following these guys from the start won’t have doubted their capabilities, but that doesn’t stop A Dream Outside from dwarfing expectations.

    They don’t manage to sustain such a high quality throughout--the final three songs are certainly expendable--but there’s plenty of promise here.
