    It all sounds so serious without any real reason for it.

    For the most part it lacks either the experimentation of James Blake or the pop sensibilities of SBTRKT.

    Whilst openly influenced by the past, an album that bears the capacity to pioneer into the future--eloquent and elegant.

    A poor pastiche of Aphex Twin, Spandau Ballet and Gary Numan. [No. 96, p.60]

    Somehow, like James Blake and SBTRKT before them, Stubborn Heart have forged strikingly contemporary pop from an alternative future.

    Call their style what you like, this is a luscious record.
