  1. The Wire
    Dec 5, 2011

    Rather than the sound of people battering against existing structures, Social Climbers exude comfort. [Sep 2011, p.58]
  2. Uncut
    Nov 15, 2011

    This, their sole album, is a curious beast, reminiscent of The Lounge Lizards or Devo, but defiantly its own thing. [Nov 2011, p.98]

    The reissue shows how prickly and difficult Social Climber's aesthetic could be, its arrangements as sparse as Young Marble Giants, though less even less concerned with hook and melody.

    The words lack that confidence the music conveys, so instead of luring you in with a convincing musical world, it more often ends up throwing a fit for attention.
