MojoFeb 2, 2015Hayes's new-found prolificacy certainly hasn't exhausted his gift for timeless pop. [Feb 2015, p.91]
-
Jan 12, 2015Here, short sharp songs such as Get It Right could be about love or the perfectionist’s creative process; likewise Fokus, another deliriously pacey romp.
-
Jan 12, 2015All in all, Slurrup is a smile-inducing reminder that it's too easy to pigeonhole him as just a master craftsman--and that Hayes' pop is arguably even more potent when it's not quite as elaborate.
-
UncutJan 12, 2015There's nothing revelatory here, but it's good to see Hayes being so productive. [Feb 2015, p.77]
-
Jan 12, 2015These songs were written on the guitar, not the piano, and at their best--“Outhouse,” “Fight Magic With Magic”--their inspirations might come from Big Star, or the Who, or the Byrds. At their weakest, they suggest ’60s garage rock as only a set of anonymous mannerisms.
-
Q MagazineJan 12, 2015Slurrup follows last summer's Korp Sole Roller and tones down the ornate arrangements for a more straightforward '60s British beat boom approach. The problem is it makes him sound pretty ordinary. [Feb 2015, p.110]
-
MagnetFeb 20, 2015These tunes would work better if the influences weren't so obvious. [No. 117, p.55]
