    The album constantly maintains feelings of loneliness and obsession, and serves equally as a soundtrack for fantasy exploration as well as late-night dancefloor enrapturement.

    There’s little doubt that Essaie Pas have fallen into one of the strongest electronic albums of the year so far. It may be a little backward-looking, it may be too much of a prisoner of its own fantasies, but when all’s said and done, these are fantasies we can all live with, and I imagine that most of us do.

    Demain Est Une Autre Nuit feels not just a good fit for the label's vintage-modern aesthetic, but a culmination of something. Perhaps it's simply that this weird, mannered synth music is no throwback, but merely a style ahead of its time, and one that only now is coming of age.

    In their dramatic interplay they find their lust for perversion and compulsion, as if exploring the infinite degrees of their relationship with the same piquant allure of Gainsbourg and Birkin (albeit less warm and more interpersonally brittle).

    Thankfully, they rewire this timeless aesthetic with more open-minded affection than stifling reverence. [Apr 2016, p.73]

    A moody, low-key opening does them few favours, but there's no shortage of intensity once they hit their groove. [Apr 2016, p.105]
