    The trio plough an increasingly creepy furrow over the course of this debut album. [Jul 2016, p.76]

    The first few tracks on Oh Inhuman Spectacle set a high bar not quite maintained throughout, but still, the record is a promising début and a perfect soundtrack for those mysterious twilight hours.

    They do a serviceable job in a handful of styles, and that’s nothing to sneeze at. Methyl Ethel could be your next favorite band, but they just have to pick what band that will be.

    Ulltimately, Oh Inhuman Spectacle relies on its construction and craft at the expense of killer tunes, but it's never less than likeable.

    Much of the music here is less unearthly obscurity and more relatively straightforward indie, dressed up in a rainbow poncho.

    They may lack the immediacy of some of their more envelope-pushing contemporaries, but as sonic world-builders they excel, and certainly possess the acumen to expand those horizons on future outings.

    Methyl Ethel have an innate knack for a tune, yet the darker ideas can feel unremittingly earnest.
