Oct 3, 2014Cosmic Logic contains probably some of the most accessible material they've released to date, material that'll hopefully attract a whole new slew of fans.
-
Oct 6, 2014Tighter than anything they've recorded previously, it’s a great return and a slick change of direction.
-
Oct 6, 2014There must have been temptation to settle into a groove--gorgeous grooves, too--but by rebelling against themselves, Coyes and Dunis have been handed the ultimate lease of life.
-
Oct 3, 2014Peaking Lights simply push for greater clarity and articulation on Cosmic Logic, refining their approach but keeping the blurry balance of rhythm and sun-dazed psychedelia.
-
Q MagazineOct 3, 2014Peaking Lights have sacrificed some of their uniqueness for added lovability. But their hypno-pop still sways to a rhythm entirely of its own. [Nov 2014, p.116]
-
Oct 2, 2014Everyone else can celebrate Peaking Lights’ decision to target the feet, rather than the minds, of the listeners this time round. Their reward is one of the year’s most intuitively entertaining releases.
-
Dec 2, 2014Cosmic Logic is an astonishingly focused album given the pedigree, and the fact that Dunis and Coyes somehow succeed in making their dreamy, messy psychedelic electronica so listenable makes it one of the keenest artist reinventions of the year.

Oct 6, 2014This is a good album, sure, but a better collection of songs.
-
UncutOct 2, 2014It strips out their usual psychedelic sprawl, leaving something leaner and more insistent, if no less Technicolor and joyously hypnotic. [Nov 2014, p.80]
-
Oct 9, 2014While Lucifer (and its remix album, Lucifer in Dub) held more nuance in its synthpop drift, Cosmic Logic‘s heavy steps only lose their foothold a few times. These grooves are transparent, but they sure have power.
-
MagnetNov 12, 2014This fourth full-length goes somewhere stranger: the 1980s. [No. 115, p.61]
-
Oct 6, 2014This album’s equilibrium-upsetting aural eclecticism comes into sharp focus: even if you’re not a working mom trying to function on four hours of sleep per night, the buzzing busyness and hallucinatory disorientation of Cosmic Logic are liable to make you feel like one.
