    A seedily romantic, kitchen-sink paean to London, We Love The City finds Hefner's previously wan guitar stylings given a coat of production lustre.

    Once again, Hefner has delivered what is sure to be one of the most original releases of the year.

    Admittedly, this is bedroom indie, but it's bedroom indie with strong production and songs that are always self-deprecating enough to not be self-pitying.

    The songs remain wonderfully the same - simple guitar lines seething like itchy scabs, scathing lyrics scribbled with trembling, coffee stained hands, memories of kissing with nicotine lips.
  6. Splendid

    Hefner are at their best when they stick to their primary theme, which is love that's been confused, bruised and downright disappointed.
  7. Mojo

    It's hard to envisage anything this parochial moving beyond cult status.

So if you want to try a Hefner record, buy that one, not this one!.… Full Review »
