    Like PJ Harvey's Rid of Me, Peggy Sue locate the precise point where heartache gives way to bloody vengeance and mine that darkness for all it's worth.

    Peggy Sue's Acrobats is one of the most scattered, schizophrenic, soul questioning--and beautiful and best records of the year.

    Acrobats drags a bit near the end, but there's no denying that it's a huge leap forward.

    Clearly the product of a great deal of work and expressive of a fascinating atmosphere of weight and tension, Acrobats is one of the finest returns of the year.

    A significant step onwards from their acoustic debut, Acrobats finds the trio developing a taste for the electric, which adds miles to their creative horizons.

    A huge step forward for them and, hopefully, for their public perception too.

    Even with these small blips, Peggy Sue have made the transition to a darker and bolder sound with ease.
