    Calm is the sound of a band whose influences have continued to evolve right along with them and their fans.

    It’s a perfect pop record, from start to finish – there’s not a single filler track, each is distinctive and shows off the band’s impressive range.

    CALM is a refreshing evolution from the days of their self-titled debut. Their latest effort is by no means perfect, but the album is a testament to their growth.

    CALM is occasionally inspired, sometimes incredibly stupid, and most of all: surprisingly fine.

    Their fourth record lacks the innocent fun of their first hits. [Apr 2020, p.87]

Lover of mine é uma verdadeira obra prima e merece envelhecer como vinho.

    Work of art.

    They are more mature here and they do attempt to take more risks but still they fail to excite beyond the casual thrill of their teen focused rock
