    This album caught me by surprise. When I first heard clips of the new direction Pianos Become the Teeth were taking, I was taken aback. I've always loved the sonic marriage of aggressive screams and delicate post rock music they've incorporated, and "The Lack Long After" is one of my favorite fall time albums. "Keep You" maintains the same emotive post rock/post punk instrumentationThis album caught me by surprise. When I first heard clips of the new direction Pianos Become the Teeth were taking, I was taken aback. I've always loved the sonic marriage of aggressive screams and delicate post rock music they've incorporated, and "The Lack Long After" is one of my favorite fall time albums. "Keep You" maintains the same emotive post rock/post punk instrumentation while lead singer Kyle Durfey has managed to match that emotion with clean singing. It's a winter album; the kind of album when you want to embrace the cold instead of warm up to it.… Expand

    Its unhurried pace is a drag at times, but should leave bands who repeat themselves with their pride punctured and their egos pricked. [22 Nov 2014, p.51]

    This is not disposable music--it’s exhausting and exhilarating and desolate and hopeful all at once--and there are layers both musically and lyrically that’ll reveal themselves with each subsequent spin. Pianos Become The Teeth’s third record is the most captivating and rewarding record of 2014--one that will be remembered as a classic within the genre and a gateway to those outside it.

    It’s bleak and beautiful in the same way Keep You is, and it gives a lot provided you put your share of effort into it. And so you’ll probably feel exhausted after listening to Keep You; as well you should.
