    Everything is likable, and that’s the formula for successful pop. But ultimately, this is the kind of polarizing release that will see the indie purists drawing a line in the sand as to what they’re willing to call their own moving forward.

    Ultimately, it’s Haerts' combination of straightforward, rootsy melodicism and more experimental, ambient inclinations that helps them grab your ear and your heart.

    A quietly complex record that not only gleams with pure euphoria but takes direct aim at an emotionally fragile core.

    Throw Haerts on shuffle and it’s uniformly accessible and uniform, period.

    Haerts is a frequently catchy mastery of tried-and-true sounds, but ultimately there’s not much that deviates from the sugary, straightforward formula that caused the group to explode in the first place.

    At times boring and ultimately painfully average.

    Nothing new about sound but it’s an excellent compilation of songs I can’t stop listening to
