Mar 4, 2013In the same way as records like the Buzzcocks' Singles Going Steady, the Smiths' Hatful of Hollow, or even Weirdo Rippers by No Age, the incremental blasts of brilliance collected in one place as Early Fragments fit together perfectly, capturing a remarkably intriguing band at various peaks.

Apr 29, 2013As the name suggests, the tracks on Early Fragments are disjointed in terms of their release date and the band’s maturity. But this is to their credit, as the juxtapositioning only adds to the unpolished, lo-fi nature of their material.

Under The RadarMar 22, 2013This is a superb record that harks to '80s indie pop with out succumbing to doe-eyed nostalgia, and evinces a sophistication in songwriter that augurs even greater things to come. [Mar-Apr 2013, p.99]
