    On all the evidence here, The Big Moon have succeeded in unearthing the secret to a fire debut.

    Sometimes all you need is an escape; a world of fun to jump into when you need a little pick me up. ... With Love in the 4th Dimension, they’ve capitalised on that feeling and make a truly stonking debut.

    This whole album sounds like an attempt to seize and memorialise the giddy freedoms of youth. Like the best indie bands, the Big Moon sound like a gang you would want to belong to--whatever your gender.

    Nostalgia for noughties and Britpop guitar hits echoes throughout--but played by a gang of twentysomethings, its wide-eyed conviction amplifies the emotional carnage.

    Their versatility and ability to channel some of the genuine peaks of the paradigm into their sound is a huge strength, and while it doesn’t break the mould or reinvent the wheel, Love in the 4th Dimension is a very impressive debut.

    Their full-length arrival comes without the rawness often seen on debuts, an attribute working for and against them, and the energy sags by the end, but the balancing act achieved between weary soulfulness and excitement is not bad at all.

    True, distinction is not at a premium. But if the job for now is to keep mosh-pits lively while adding chasers of personality and long-term promise, the melodiously snarky Pull The Other One and all-together-now anthem Formidable offer crowning evidence of a job well done.

    Confident in its own weirdness, Love In The 4th Dimension is as enjoyable as the live shows that birthed it. [May 2017, p.100]

Overall I found the album impressive while I listened but forgettable enough afterwards. Plenty of melody and tune but lacking in magic or proper bite. If you don't have one, it's nice to have the other.… Full Review »
