    Mostly their ebullient sixth LP is clever and kooky enough to be cherished on its own terms. [Jul 2019, p.110]

    Though it lacks some of the standout avant-garde moments of the band’s earlier work, it also eschews the messy missteps that had popped up from time to time. Seeing Other People is also the most focused and controlled Foxygen album and its intricate melodies and infinite hooks will be remembered long after the band is no more, whether France and Rado realize it or not.

    Seeing Other People initially appears slick and self-obsessed, very nearly to a fault. But scratch below the surface and there’s tongue-in-cheek humour.

    It stays true to the duo’s journey of experimental pop rock sounds, while finding energy in existentialism.

    One of the only things missing from the album is flow between tracks. Songs hit a satisfying ending, but then fade out and move to a track that doesn't connect to what the listener just heard.

    On their sixth LP, unpredictable Californians Foxygen are less up for a bop than an attempt at settling some scores.

    Though France warded off rumors of a band breakup prior to the album's release, it's clear that Foxygen is moving on from the past in dramatic fashion with an album that's part formal complaint and part kiss-off.

    Foxygen is really foxing all of them. They keep adding new sound in every record and that's what you can call versatility
