  1. PopMatters

    Brilliant, shimmering and wonderfully composed, Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn is one of the best albums of year, and the best album GY!BE have never released.
  2. Drowned In Sound
    80
    The whole affair is deeply involving, full of odd punctuations and wonderful non-linear compositional structures.
  3. No Ripcord
    80
    This is a brilliant and varied album, risky and excessive at times, yet compelling and open throughout.
  4. Stylus Magazine
    80
    It’s a strong and dynamic step forward for the group and deserves to bring them a level of recognition commonly accorded their more famous Montréal label-mates.

    Can't stop listening to this, better every time.

    Albums just don't come with this much willingness to exist. Urgent, positive, textured, astonishing.

    Amazing. A more jazz-inflected post-rock, resulting in a pastoral vibe not dissimilar to Boards of Canada. I'd say they're the best band in the world. & Yet & Yet is a little better, though.… Expand
