    When listening to this album you can’t help but feel the infectiousness of the group sitting around together just jamming out these songs.

    II mixes sweeping, retro-futuristic synth-pop with brazenly outre guitar shredding and motorik beats to savvy--and emotionally sincere--effect. [Jun 2017, p.33]

    With II, L.A. Takedown have constructed a somewhat chilled but still frequently exciting vision of Los Angeles, rooted in the '80s but letting other eras and locales seep in.

    Iif you’ve got a predilection for Vampire Weekend’s baroque alt-pop, Tame Impala’s psychedelica or the hazy bombast of M83 you’ll find this a comforting, welcoming destination.

    L.A. Takedown often errs on the side of too much perfection, but here, a little messed up, it soars.

    At it's best, II packs a winning, sun-scorched lethargy. [Jun 2017, p.88]
