Jan 25, 2019Nothing about this album is ordinary and nothing can be taken for granted – least of all the artists themselves. Get Tragic is a powerful album, raw in its unflinching honesty, experimental in its lyrical and instrumental balances, and deeply moving in its frank exploration of all that Ansell and Carter have made it through to reach this point.

Jan 25, 2019An emotionally raw and thrilling pop record (because it is a pop record, despite its rock sensibilities). After a series of downs that would finish most bands, Get Tragic sounds like a new start for its creators.

Jan 24, 2019Get Tragic, quite candidly, is a virtually perfect record. There’s nothing about it that’s out of place.

Jan 24, 2019Get Tragic hammers with smooth menace on "Nearer" (feat. The Wytches)," chugs alongside a bongo drum ("Mexican Dress"), and on "Anxiety" throws Jack White guitar work at us for good measure.

Jan 25, 2019While it lacks the untethered aggression of past efforts, there’s a mean underbelly to tracks like ‘Beverly’ and ‘Howl’ that makes up for this.
