    Omni deliver the songs with all the punch of a band twice their size. They beat the tar out of the sophomore slump and come away with another instant classic album.

    Multi-task hits its high marks when the band is doing as much as it can, or, if you will, multi-tasking.

    On Multi-task they’ve honed their sound to the point where it’s hard to imagine them playing anything that doesn’t take sharp turns or hit abrupt stops.

    [Deluxe's] successor is equally likeable. [Oct 2017, p.108]

    There is a feeling that at times the record dips into repetition, particularly around the mid-point, though there’s no doubting that Omni’s intricate and deadpan approach is worth a visit for even the most casual of bystanders.

    Multi-Task doesn’t rock the boat too much; if anything it is more streamlined, less abrasive, ready to be swallowed whole.

    All the hallmarks of Omni’s debut are present and correct: jaunty, stop/start arrangements, intense guitar melodies, muffled vocals and a propensity for the poppier side of post-punk. It doesn’t quite have anything as immediately appealing as Afterlife here, in fact it’s much more of a grower, but over time Multi-task proves itself to be a triumphant lesson in post-punk authenticity.

    Switchback rhythms and artfully tangled melodies make it hard to pin them down. [Nov 2017, p.35]

    The best thing that has ever happened to post-punk since Women split up. Kind of remind you of Devo with a more serious edge to it. Excellent !

    Kind of one note, but it's not a bad one. Still a listenable album. If you like indie pop rock you'll probably find something to enjoy here.Kind of one note, but it's not a bad one.
