  1. What they're actually releasing is passionate, urgent, full of music that swoops with the geometric elegance of flocking birds, but shows scant evidence of original thinking.
  2. Mojo
    60
    In merging the intimate with the majestic, The Kissaway Trail have achieved a rare, and subtle, balance. [Apr 2010, p.92]
  3. Q Magazine
    60
    An impressive album with lovely songs, but greater originality is needed. [Apr 2010, p.112]
  4. Uncut
    60
    Banjos, xylophones and 12-string guitars sound oddly unfolky in this context, instead taking an almost symphonic dimension on tracks like the lead single "SDP." [Apr 2010, p.88]
  5. Sleep Mountain lacks both the urgency and unhinged fervour of Arcade Fire and the inventive mischief of the Flaming Lips.
  6. Sleep Mountain's lack of originality is made worse by the fact that few of its songs actually go anywhere.
