    Ultimately, Workout Holiday is a party record for thinking people, and it’s a smart time to join them.
  2. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    Songs begin fully-formed before spiralling into abstract drum loops punctuated by slicing guitars and vocal drones (‘Mess Your Hair’). At other times, the most perfect moments of Small Faces psychedelia or Velvet Underground basement pop will emerge from the most unlikely formless squalls (‘Sitting’; ‘Heart From Us All’).
  3. Q Magazine

    As strident as the MC5 yet as playful as Pavement, White Denim sound like the best rock'n'roll party you've ever gatecrashed. [July 2008, p.111]

    On record, it's nutty maze-rock with hair-raising highs and the odd dead end. [July 2008, p.112]
