Jan 28, 2016The chemistry between Agius and Redway is palpable.
-
Jan 28, 2016Unsurprisingly, the tracks that feature Redway's voice chopped and sampled and without straight lyrics, "Beseech" and "Extract," are the most satisfying ones on the album. These two tracks point to the duo's real potential.
-
Apr 4, 2016The lyrics are generally focused around breakups, loss, and loneliness, and while those subjects are well-trod territory, Redway sings them with conviction, and his passionate vocals complement the tracks nicely.
-
Jan 28, 2016The duo's linear arrangements could keep a dance floor chuntering along, but they make for clunky pop songs.
-
Jan 28, 2016While the pair clearly have a knack for churning out catchy vocal lines--the melodies of tracks such as Borderlines feel familiar from the very first listen--Redway’s vocals tend to slide into an ersatz soulful drone, and the polite percussion and soft but relentless bass buzz that trundle beneath can render the songs miserably airless.
