Apr 2, 2015A journey of self-discovery, confidence abounding like limits simply don’t exist.
-
Mar 31, 2015This isn’t so much a progression as a rebirth.
-
Mar 31, 2015Their second album continues the work of the first, a yardstick for the heavy guitar sound, and is in its own way as hard hitting, visceral and effortlessly brilliant.
-
Apr 13, 2015While their debut acted more as a fairly straightforward (and cleanly captured) document of Drenge's live sound, Undertow's cohesion comes from its intentionally murky tone which provides just right home for their (mostly) controlled fury.
-
Apr 6, 2015A hugely impressive return from Drenge, who have once again produced a collection of songs that will leave you feeling dirty but, more importantly, completely satisfied.
-
Apr 2, 2015Finally, an album that will pull you under.
-
Q MagazineApr 1, 2015They've simply honed their sound to an aggressively melodic point. [May 2015, p.104]
-
Apr 21, 2015They make going nowhere fast sound like the only way to travel.
-
Apr 16, 2015In short, a solid enough second effort with some promise for a more expansive third.
-
Apr 14, 2015As second albums go, though, this is exactly what we want to see--a clear a development, a sharpening of powers and a defining of sound. What happens next could be truly spectacular.
-
UncutMar 31, 2015A couple of bratty, clunky bursts in the vein of the self-titled first album spoil the mood slightly. [May 2015, p.72]
-
MojoApr 21, 2015Their second outing makes no effort to remap their coordinates: they remain riffy, distorted, full of nocturnal energy, possessed of rollicking good tunes, but also open up a more expansive goth-rock strain on indie-radio cuts. [May 2015, p.94]
-
Apr 6, 2015A solid follow-up rather than any sort of great leap forward.
