Mar 25, 2016It is a deceptively difficult trick, to capture the humanity and irregularities of music in a way that does not feel cloying, but over 12 tracks on their debut album Brisbane’s the Goon Sax manage it again, and again, and again. This is some kind of wonderful.
-
Apr 7, 2016This is pop music as it should be: simple, unvarnished, young but world-weary, and ultimately timeless.
-
Jul 15, 2016Sweetly alienated knockouts like “Ice Cream (On My Own)” and “Sometimes Accidentally” lend a gravitas to twee as shruggily out of place in 2016 as Tallulah was in 1987--and every bit as necessary.

MojoMar 25, 2016Brisbane trio navigates teen psychodramas with the sort of wry reportage that makes Courtney Barnett such a charming indie narrator. [May 2016, p.96]
-
Mar 25, 2016Each song is well-structured and wise beyond its years while the messages are confused, delicate and very, very teenage. This is the sound of growing up smart.
-
Mar 25, 2016It's an impressive debut, one that should easily win over fans of simple and true indie pop, and also one that promises great things in the future.
-
UncutMar 25, 2016The droll self-awareness and blunt strum of their songs may have you thinking of The Go-Betweens, but it's more a general stylistic flourish that has The Goon Sax coming across as classic Brisbane pop. [May 2016, p.74]
