Alternative PressOne of the brightest and catchy offerings for Sub Pop all year. [Nov 2006, p.188]
-
Ultimately, the band has arrived with a poppier-sounding album while their signature sour earnestness remains intact.
-
This is a record full of loose ends and fractious energy, not at all compromised by its move up the food chain.
-
With their music and attitude backing up this mature, sophisticated and affecting version of themselves, the members of Oxford Collapse stake their claim among not only Sub Pop's ranks, but as one of indie rock's best new bands.
-
It's a torn and somewhat confused record, but a more decisive one wouldn't have suited them or their subject matter.
-
Remember The Night Parties finds the Brooklyn-based trio expanding greatly on the post-dance-punk sound of their first two albums.
-
It takes time for the nuanced talent of Remember the Night Parties to peek through some occasionally redundant elements.
-
Unlike the groups' prior albums, Remember the Night Parties carries less heft due to its shimmering pop mindset.
-
There’s no question that Oxford Collapse, like an awkward teenager, hasn’t figured out exactly what they are, and the added pressures of a larger label release have caught them slightly off guard.
