    Vidal’s newfound penchant for quiet introspection, providing a fantastic centerpiece to this EP, which contains more riveting ideas and modes of expression than most full-length albums.
  2. Pitchfork

    Sometimes it feels like they're playing two different songs, working from two different ideas. There's no steady view of the horizon anymore. It's disorienting, but charming, to hear their parts blend, settle, and separate over and over again.

    Die-hard fans may not like the style change, but I think it’s a step in the right direction.
  4. Under The Radar
    60
    'The Reaper' is a fine blend of noisy guitars and busy rhythm, but a minimalist cover of Stevie Nicks 'Wild Heart' makes the most lingering impression. [Spring 2009, p.75]
