    Angular and unpredictable, their intricate interplay makes for enthralling listening. [Aug 2009, p.107]

    Bike For Three! don’t often have the danceable poppiness of Neon Neon (though don’t get me wrong, they never drift into the background) but it’s hard not to think of that other collaboration for the simple reason: embracing a slick, futuristic, highly-produced sound has unexpectedly brought about the best album yet, by all concerned

    More Heart Than Brains is a title that perfectly captures the spirit of this album.

    Often, fantastically, all at the same time.

    There's something almost voyeuristic in listening to such an intimate musical relationship built on exchanging confidential messages to one another, but it's this warmth that gives the record its spirit.
