    This album deserves much more recognition than it has received. It is full of a wide range of sounds, so that the album feels alive, and yet none of the tracks really jar to collide with each other. The singer does, as previously said, sound akin to Thom Yorke, and it genuinely feels like an album he could have made. Despite this, it doesn't feel like some Radiohead tribute, since theThis album deserves much more recognition than it has received.

    They are truly captivating when they take the best of their talents and translate them as they feel and, frankly, it matters little whether the product bears sonic points of reference to others or not.
  3. It’s mid-album epic ‘Push It’ that best showcases their dexterity, an eerie bass-drum kick blending with a beautiful crescendo of soaring violin strings and piano keys.
