MojoJun 11, 2020Haunting, unsettling hybrid. [Jul 2020, p.83]

Jun 16, 2020On their assured, plaintively lovely and frequently agitated opening salvo, Drab City have concocted a minor masterpiece of electronic phantasms and rumbling desert soul from grim tidings, alienation, 21st-century hauntological aesthetics, and dissonant harmonics. It's impressive work that emanates both a seamless sprawl and a mounting dread.

Jun 11, 2020Good Songs for Bad People maintains a high standard almost throughout, but it does tail off a little disappointingly at the end.

Jun 11, 2020While a little unfocused stylistically, the recordings have a consistently dreamy, submerged sound quality that evokes a past life or at least an obscure record-store find. While the songs' narratives present Drab City as a disappointing destination full of broken hearts and gentrification, its immersive musical allure makes it worth the price of passage.

UncutJun 11, 2020Most crucial is a penchant for '60s chanson's soft-focus harmonies and production values. [Jul 2020, p.30]
