    Knee deep in dashing, erudite pop, the band’s 13th LP Cosmonaut will hardly sully their reputation.

    The balance between these quiet, thoughtful songs, the needle-bouncing rockers, and the jumping Monkees-ish pop of tracks like "Stick Your Hand Up if You're Louche" makes for a thrill ride of an album, and a better example of modern guitar pop than Cosmonaut is pretty hard to find no matter where one might look.

    Cosmonaut is as stylishly warped as ever. [Oct 2016, p.35]

    Cosmonaut is a mostly understated genre-jumper that serves as the platform for frontman Bid to exercise his dry wit. [No. 136, p.59]

    The spindly riffs and skiffle-y arrangements are as tightly wound as ever, while Bid's mocking lyrics have seldom been so waspish. [Oct 2016, p.109]

    A zippy half-hour's worth of inspired, unlikely juxtapositions and deftly perverse songcraft. [Oct 2016, p.96]
