UncutOct 14, 2015The album is reminiscent of Kraftwerk in its combination of chilly electronics and haunting, hooky melodies but has a wonkiness unique to Haines. [Nov 2015, p.76]
-
Jan 14, 2016British Nuclear Bunkers is as stubborn, singular and compelling as its creator.
-
Oct 14, 2015From a songwriter of this calibre, a maven of the lyrical barb, it might seem odd that an almost wholly instrumental album should stand among his most compelling, entertaining solo work, but British Nuclear Bunkers is exactly that.
-
Q MagazineOct 14, 2015[The album] works best when vocal-free, telling its story through tone, not text. [Nov 2015, p.111]
-
Oct 14, 2015Make no mistake, this is a chilling album, but one with just enough of Haines’ own addictive madness to charm. Best take cover.

Oct 16, 2015At just under 30 minutes, it feels like a bit of a lark, but its brevity actually works in its favor, as an extended set of Haines' sneering incantations and electronic skullduggery would likely require a certain amount of intestinal fortitude.
