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

    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.

    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 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]

    An album with no skips. The diversity in this album is so unique and so unbelievably good.
