Alternative PressOne of the few albums that deserves its Pitchfork-generated hype. [Jul 2006, p.204]
-
By marrying the subtle ethereality of bands like MBV with the swashbuckling pomp of a modern-day Iggy, they are a band at once single-minded and confused.
-
Entertainment WeeklySure, this speaker-frying style has been done before, but rarely with such confidence. [12 May 2006, p.83]
-
UrbThe group maintains its own modern, unique sound while capturing and reimagining the familiar. [May 2006, p.95]
-
Serena-Maneesh sounds like the kind of record many bands spend their entire careers trying to create.
-
The Oslo five-piece flirt with overindulging their feedback fetish... but avoid wankery by reining in the songs just before boredom sets in.
