Oct 29, 2013The five-piece Montreal/Toronto noise-pop band keep things compositionally complex throughout, and each song rolls seamlessly into the next.
-
Oct 29, 2013UZU is an album that uproots us and transports us into the unknown, but it's an adventure that we would happily go on again and again.
-
Oct 29, 2013UZU is stunning and melodic, and consistently absorbing.
-
Nov 14, 2013If there’s a way in which UZU falls short of the band’s debut, it’s in the recording itself, which is a bit hazier this time out and consequently robs the music of some of the direct, visceral power it had on Yamantaka // Sonic Titan. That said, the songs and performances are good enough that it nearly doesn’t matter.

Oct 30, 2013The newly expanded outfit leans more heavily on their prog rock influences, losing some of the distinctions and dichotomies that made their debut so powerful.
