    There's parts of On Desire that feel all too familiar, and there's parts that simply don't work. For every negative though there's a melody or lyric that makes it shine, and for that, the band are worth sticking with, at least for the time being.

    With On Desire, the Drowners sound more confident and more in tune with each other as a band, but they still remain captives of their influences. They're evolving, but at a pace that may never yield any new fruit.

    On Desire shows Drowners deepening and darkening the intrigue around them. [Aug 2016, p.111]

    The epitome of indie clichés, Drowners have done nothing to break their mould, and On Desire does little to appease the want for something more.
