    It's a solid debut for the duo that places them up near the top echelon of their neo-disco contemporaries.

    This is the sort of LP you play from start to finish while on a car journey in the sun on the way to a festival: it’ll gift you with positive feelings through its infinite groove.

    Hanging Gardens is a decadent trifle to lose yourself in, a deceptively simple record that has the potential for great longevity.
