Mar 29, 2017From Deewee is a welcome and satisfying return from the sibling pair.
-
Mar 24, 2017Recorded in one take, and featuring with two drummers, a myriad of vintage synths, a few guitars and god knows how much more technology all hardwired into their mixing desk, the record flows together effortlessly.

UncutApr 20, 2017Not for the first time, their presentation is inspired but the material can fall a little flat. [Jun 2017, p.37]
-
Apr 7, 2017They arrive at the settled creative space they’ve hinted at but never quite reached in the past.
-
Mar 24, 2017Designed to be listened to as a continuous mix, From Deewee is as much about the flow between songs as the standout anthems.

Q MagazineApr 12, 2017Some tracks will work better live, but consider the experiment a success. [Jun 2017, p.112]

Mar 31, 2017From Deewee is undeniably good, but it’s not great. With any luck, From Deewee will be remixed and reshaped into a juggernaut live set or a follow up album like Nite Versions.

Mar 28, 2017Whilst production and rhythms are excellent, the hooks (barring the album’s final lyric: “There’s so much bullshit comin’ out of your mouth”) often fall short.

Mar 24, 2017You would never guess the precise Kraftwerkian twinkles of Conditions of a Shared Belief were recorded without painstaking layering. But the songs themselves can fail to grab you as the whole thing whizzes seamlessly by.

Mar 24, 2017Unfortunately, that sense of immediacy isn’t always present. Sometimes it shows that From Deewee was rehearsed many times and things get a little bit too mechanical in the middle. It’s still easy to find yourself getting wrapped up in it though and, when it hits, it’s easy to hear why Soulwax are hailed as such innovators.
