    Without hyperbole, it is one of the most fun, vibrant, rewarding, intelligently structured pop records to shimmy through these parts in quite some time, taking cues from whichever electro-punk-pop-DIY-indie-sludge-rock hybrid 21-year-old Londoner Mica Levi fell in love with when she was 14.
  2. Rolling Stone
    80
    The 13 songs here average just 2:30 in length, but they cram a lot in.
  3. Blender
    80
    Micachu has made one of the strongest debuts of the year.
  4. The Guardian
    80
    Combining hard experimentation with soft introspection, her scrappy, lo-fi production wrapped in warmth, Micachu's sparkling pop will leave Little Boots shaking in her shoes.
  5. Drowned In Sound
    80
    Thrillingly improbable pop made by a grade-A maverick. Three cheers to that.
  6. The Boston Phoenix
    75
    Levy's unorthodox and, in some cases, homemade instruments strum and stutter with calculated abandon; her heavy British accent slumps itself across this glitchy bubblegum arcade and blunts it.
  7. Urb

    Jewellery, their latest album, plays like an act in a high school battle of the bands.

    This is my favorite album of all time. Very unique and interesting compositions. I've listened to it countless times.

    i only ever write a review if an album is distinctly good, or distinctly bad. in the case of Jewellery, it is of the case of good. and noti only ever write a review if an album is distinctly good, or distinctly bad. in the case of Jewellery, it is of the case of good. and not just good.... fantastic! this is one of the most exciting and creative albums i have honestly heard in my life! there is a no holds back feel about it that makes this album magical. the tracks 'calculator' and 'turn me well' will be on repeat for hours and when you have finally managed to separate yourself from them they will haunt you for hours after! this album shows so much promise for this relatively unknown band. i am just waiting for the first real breakout song from this band then Micachu and the shapes will be a household name! i would almost be willing to bet money on it! i think this is the only band that can incorporate a vacuum solo and get away with it. do yourself a favor and get this album!… Expand
