    Confident Music For Confident People is exactly what it says on the tin. It's also the most unashamedly addictive record you'll hear all year.

    Confidence Man create an album that does more for the listener than the electronic genre, which is a good thing. Listeners put themselves in the shoes of these characters whose control streams from all of these lively beats and vocables.

    Even if listeners lack that namesake self-assurance that the band seem to care so much about, by the end of Confident Music for Confident People, they might believe they can achieve anything with this album as their effortlessly cool soundtrack.

    With a Balearic pulse and horizontal attitude throughout, this record is ready-made sunshine--MDMAzing pretension-free fun for the masses. This is the album we need in these hard times, even if we don’t deserve it. Put this record on, dance until sunrise, gurn through Brexit and rave until war is over.

    They certainly aren’t subtle, but Confidence Man’s broad brush strokes belie a sophisticated and skilful distillation of dance-pop joy.

    Tilt is the music they are dragging you onto the dancefloor for, and with most of these songs playing over the speakers, you’ll happily join them.

    Simple, catchy pop with a sardonic swagger. Not exactly world-changing, but if you're looking for something simple with a lot of energy and aSimple, catchy pop with a sardonic swagger. Not exactly world-changing, but if you're looking for something simple with a lot of energy and a sense of humor, this will hit the spot. Feels like a mash-up of LCD Soundsystem and The Ting Tings.… Full Review »

    One of my favourite albums ever. Dripping with satire which boomers often confuse as truth.
