Brilliantly elegant.

All in all, Push The Heart is an admirable, sometimes striking record from a band with a few of those now in their catalog.
-
Push The Heart is easily the most developed batch of songs from the group, easing through ten assured tracks of soft orchestral pop.
-
One gets the sense that this is an album recorded with white gloves, and the calculation behind the tunes is nearly tangible.
-
Push the Heart sounds like a transition. The band proved that they could be jangly and fierce, and then they proved that they could make an album that hung together, and with Push they’re hinting that they can do both.

UncutInhabiting the same last-dance ballroom as Portishead's noir torch songs, this monument to ennui is prettily impressive. [Mar 2006, p.90]
-
The Devics' music is chamber pop at its most lush and dreamy.
-
New Musical Express (NME)It's a consistently engaging combination. [18 Feb 2006, p.35]
-
MojoAn imposing, sometimes melodramatic affair. [Mar 2006, p.94]
-
Q MagazineWhilte thoughtfully put together, Push The Heart is hardly a venture into uncharted territory. [Apr 2006, p.119]

PaoloMAug 8, 2006Beautiful album, especially "come up" and "salty seas". Not all songs are that wonderful, but the singing is magnificent everywhere.
