    Lo–Fi guitars, sweet synths, eccentric beats and surreal lyrics make this an off the wall joy

    I love this album. Lots of simple bass guitar, beats that flirt with techno and brilliant lyrics. Each song has layer upon layer of sound and is really pleasing to listen to. The almost demo quality is definitely a positive in this case. A brilliantly rounded album that beats the majority of established bands hands down.

  1. Most of Tom Vek's influences are at least fifteen years old and easily triangulated. But he's unencumbered by nostalgia. We Have Sound is so difficult to isolate from Vek's ass-backwards charisma, I wonder if the man might be a visionary.
  2. Even if you do persevere it's likely you'll find pleasure and irritation in equal measure, but at least he always provokes a reaction - a quality never to be underestimated.
  3. A good debut, if strangely restrained. [2 Apr 2005, p.50]
