    Utilizing his filmic experience, their debut full-length album, Save Your Season, is a lushly cinematic affair drenched in reverb-laden psychedelics, shimmering shoegazing hooks, and floaty ethereal synths, but it's Hollie's detached yet fragile vocals that set this apart from his usual instrumental chillout fare... a valiant and occasionally compelling first effort.

    Krautrock-tinged, distortion-clouded synthpop covered in soft blankets of breathy, post-Cocteau's vocals... Just breathe it in. [Dec. 2011 p. 98]

    There's no personality here, nothing to cling on to and love.

    It's unquestionably a beautiful (debut) album, and one that may be well-timed.

    Save Your Season is so soaked in effects that the atmosphere smothers everything else, including some otherwise pretty-good songs.

    As a kind of '90s bedsit atmosphere plug-in, it works perfectly. [Jan 2012, p.124]

    It's all too hammy, too rich to absorb.

    Pleasant, but hardly original. [Dec 2011, p.90]

    An economical, tightly constructed album that never skimps on the emotion. [#39, p. 75]
