    Yay! is not actually retro, nor less lyrically provocative or musically adventurous. It is, simply, the latest necessary creative gambit from these sonic psychonauts.

    This is a laid-back kind of record, inclined towards porch sitting or walks in the wods. There’s still plenty of exceptional musicianship on display, though, with the guitar work remaining immensely appealing. In addition, despite the mellowness of the material and the seemingly-throwaway album title, Yay! can be surprisingly emotionally potent upon occasion.

    It's occasionally elegiac, delicate and whimsical on a song like Real Again, with an occasional side of the epic. [Summer 2023, p.75]

    A beguiling sigh in itself. [Aug 2023, p.81]
