Nov 5, 2018In other hands an album as disparate and scattershot as this would fall flat, its moments of brilliance muddied by misfires. This is not one of those records.
-
UncutNov 15, 2018A series of esoteric, danceable, frequently amusing stories about sleeping in gardens, body waxing and Swansea. [Jan 2019, p.19]
-
Nov 5, 2018The results are expectedly bonkers, with some of Ling’s tales ushered into songs and others scored by improvisations, the collection bound by a deeply English eccentricity and a shared love of pop music's spikier edges.
-
Q MagazineNov 5, 2018Ling's unhinged bluestocking vocals lift strange images out of the volatile electronica. [Dec 2018, p.104]
-
MojoNov 5, 2018Daft and serious, catchy and strange. [Dec 2018, p.93]
-
Nov 5, 2018The album is charmingly pretentious, confounding, and a good time all at once. Closer "Pebbles" is the only song here borrowed from their debut EP, Gothenburg, released six months earlier.

Dec 3, 2018By the end of the record, it's clear that the more focused Ling is on presentation and the more work Wrench puts in on actually making songs and not just scattered musical ideas, the better audiobooks are. It's a shame they didn't figure that out for themselves before putting out a full album.
