    Fantastic combination of moody pop and dance rock. Amazing melancholy in the singing. True sound of the 2020-s: half worrying half hoping for a better world. Lyrics indicate detachment and longing to belong. So varied, drum patterns and guitar riffs both twinkling and robust, drone bass lightly jumping around - all this makes the record sound both tough and delicate.

    It's an extraordinary record, which stands, and reliably rewards, repeated listens. [Jan 2022, p.80]

    Projector is an impressive debut and all-around solid effort from a band at the start of a promising career.

    Projector is best appreciated not as the work of post-punk’s resurrectors but its cocky, charismatic trust fund kids: unconcerned with the legitimacy of their inheritance and confident that there’s no way they can fail.
