    The music is bright and unconfined, making it the perfect album for catharsis.

    Virginia Wing pack a lot into their pop songs. Glowing hooks and nagging phrases continually draw you in.

    Nodding to dubby post-punk, dream-pop, rave and disco, its experiments are half-familiar yet never ostensibly retro – an approach that tempers this exploration of a very modern malaise with a dose of nostalgic comfort and joy.

    This unrepentantly unsettled, searching feel makes private LIFE a little less immediate than Ecstatic Arrow, but as they lean into the more experimental side of their music, Virginia Wing share a rich inner life that reveals more with each listen.

    Fusing an eclectic mix of genres together, Virginia Wing’s definitive experimental style continues to be electrifyingly alluring.

    Undaunted by the pressures they continue to face, Virginia Wing present a disarming form of resistance to life’s troubles.

    This is joyful music with a spirit of self-preservation at its core.

    Across these tracks, the searching spirit of Virginia Wing is often challenged, its questions far from being answered – but the album feels more true to life because of it. [Feb 2021, p.56]
