    La Petite Mort is a quality release and a welcome return for a band that refuses to sit down.

    The album’s probably better than expected, so it’s somewhat of a disappointment that the band haven’t been encouraged to recreate their main strength, the brilliant electricity generated by pulsating live shows as their music builds into euphoric peaks; too often, the production strips away the potential majesty.

    Producer Max Dingel fashions a crystal clear sound, full but never overblown, bringing an attractive universality to some very personal emotions. [Jun 2014, p.79]

    La Petite Mort may not be the groundbreaker, but it's definitely a treat. [Sep/Oct 2014, p.76]
