  • Summary: This is the debut album for psychedlic British indie-rockers Electric Soft Parade (actually two teenage brothers, Tom and Alex White), drawing comparisons to everyone from Grandaddy and the Charlatans to Teenage Fanclub and Buffalo Springfield.

  1. They sound poppy and upbeat and melancholy all at once.
  2. A surprisingly assured album.
  3. An album that feels as thrilling to listen to as Definitely Maybe or Parklife.
  4. It's surprising to see how well Holes in the Wall holds up under the weight of its own hype.
  5. An eclectic, highly promising debut.
  6. Mojo

    Every one of these 12 self-composed, played and produced tracks is absolutely stickled with hooks. [March 2002, p.108]

    An auspicious introduction. [March 2002, p.96]
