    Their debut is squeaky-door dub that offers unexpectedly plentiful tunes. [Sep 2016, p.73]

    Wilder and stranger than Anika's previous work, Exploded View is an unpredictable ride that suggests listeners should follow wherever she beckons.

    Messy, discordant, and beholden to the serrated edge, there’s nonetheless a seam of verisimilitude in the execution.

    This is an ideal sign off for a band trying to showcase their own new sound; not overpowering, but a sharp, pointed and intriguing tune that will still be resounding after the track has finished.

    Exploded View is something troubled, and in its consistency does it succeed in showing itself as such.

    Sadly, Exploded View’s admirable commitment to spontaneity has resulted in a muggily-recorded LP which fails to match the usual high-quality post-punk output of the esteemed Sacred Bones label.
