    Its unhurried pace is a drag at times, but should leave bands who repeat themselves with their pride punctured and their egos pricked. [22 Nov 2014, p.51]

    It's an album less for blasting out of car radios and more for dusty Sunday afternoons and at times, it can feel a bit dulled by its own weight. Still, it's nice to hear the band stretching out and evolving, and even if Keep You requires a little more patience there is still much to like about it.

    Whilst songs from this new record will actually fit nicely besides tracks from ‘Old Pine’ and ‘The Lack Long After’, Keep You as a whole, is somewhat forgettable.

I've always loved the sonic marriage of aggressive screams and delicate post rock music they've incorporated, and "The Lack Long After" is one of my favorite fall time albums. "Keep You" maintains the same emotive post rock/post punk instrumentation while lead singer Kyle Durfey has managed to match that emotion with clean singing. It's a winter album; the kind of album when you want to embrace the cold instead of warm up to it.… Full Review »
