Feb 27, 2017In its best moments, In Between sounds both mellow and intense in ways only the Feelies can pull off.
-
Feb 24, 2017The Feelies’ grip of melody remains very much in place throughout, as do their love of jangling intertwining guitars and a strict sense of rhythm.
-
Feb 24, 2017Despite intimations of mortality, there’s plenty of rocking and rolling left in this house.
-
Feb 23, 2017Though the songs are new, the album is hardly a departure. Each is immediately recognizable to anyone who knows the Feelies.
-
Feb 23, 2017In Between takes more spins to reveal its charms than is usual for the Feelies, but the effort pays off handsomely.
-
Feb 15, 2017The familiarity of their sound and the ordinariness of their suburban laments do not breed contempt. They know how it is, and so do we, and we’re all in it together for as long as the record lasts. The Feelies may tell small tales and play like they’re living in them, but it all rings true.

MojoFeb 15, 2017A delightful demonstration that sticking to your guns can be well worth it. [Mar 2017, p.95]

UncutFeb 15, 2017The intensity builds so subtly that it's hard to pinpoint when the easygoing chord changes give way to droning menace, but by the time they hit the nine-minute-plus closing reprise of "In Between," the pastoral vibe has been transformed into squalling white noise. [Mar 2017, p.30]
-
Feb 27, 2017The band doesn't need to say much, because that message is there in the music.
-
Feb 15, 2017This is the sound of The Feelies aging more gracefully. Simply put, like Here Before, this takes its place in their flawless discography as yet another gem. [Jan - Mar 2017, p.65]
-
Mar 20, 2017It puts you on a kick after soothing you with its pacifying hooks. And really, it’s in making those small variations where The Feelies find their gentle collision of energy and contemplation.
-
Feb 24, 2017In Between is usually quiet, but it's never cautious; this is very much the work of one of America's best and most venerable independent bands, and it confirms the Feelies are still a genuine creative force as they approach their 40th anniversary.

Feb 15, 2017Between its moderate tempos and spartan production, In Between seems designed to turn as few heads as possible and at first even comes across a tad glum. ... With a little patience though, its sunnier side shines through. All the hallmarks of The Feelies' sound are present, but in a pleasantly subdued state.
