    For all its referential qualities, this is a record that is confident in its own distinct character.
  2. Exclaim

    This album strikes an intriguing, if slightly schizophrenic, balance between gently meandering almost-psychedelia and the restless rhythmic activity of recent dance styles.
  3. CMJ
    Mar 27, 2012
    80
    The result is honed and sophisticated, unique yet smartly referential.
  4. Tiny Mix Tapes

    Much like the surrounding semblance, densely concealed behind a name with clear sci-fi connotations, the music on The Host can be difficult to really get into.
