    I don't understand what all the fuss is about actually. Though the sounds are nice and the hooks are catchy enough, there is little in the way of meloldy or song structure here. Even the reviewer who commented on the simple verse/chorus form is being generous - these songs rarely have more than 2 chords in them and their choruses are more like refrains that have the same chords and I don't understand what all the fuss is about actually.

It really is a nice listen but there is very little of interest to keep you coming back.… Expand

    An exuberantly echoing starburst of lo-fi twee-pop gone grand.

    Homespun creativity has rarely sounded bigger -- or better -- than it does on Our Thickness.

    If you haven't discovered the group yet, by all means snap up this lush slab of synth pop.
