Oct 23, 2017It's indie pop with a purpose, full of drama and intention, great songs, and breathtaking performances that put other bands mining similar territory on notice.
-
Q MagazineOct 24, 2017While generational ennui smoulders in the lyrics, their main concern remains heartbreak and its vicissitudes. [Dec 2017, p.106]
-
Oct 25, 2017What matters though is that their catchy magic never dies down, rearranging all your emotions on the way and relating to you with the heartfelt comfort of a truly kindred spirit. III delivers just that, starting slowly but eventually snowballing into your soul with an indescribable fire.
-
Oct 23, 2017Though it is certainly a darker listen, III is largely about the same concepts as its predecessor: unquenchable desire that eclipses reality, the ruthless blow of rejection, and the struggle to remain afloat even when “humanity equals misery.”
-
Oct 23, 2017There are moments on III where the band stumbles--“Witness” ebbs just a hair too close to The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black”--but by and large, Makthaverskan has never been sharper than it is in the present moment.
-
Nov 27, 2017What Makthaverskan lack in variety they make up with a passion that cannot be quenched, and the dreamy undercurrent it carries throughout is filled with a shot of optimism that is undoubtedly contagious.
-
Oct 23, 2017That isn't to say there aren't enjoyable moments on III that transcend genre--the final build in Days Turn Into Years is particularly good--but ultimately, this is largely standard fare.
