    Slightly less frenzied, slightly more polished sonic fuckfest, still drenched in sweat and reverb, with the occasional, slightly more soulful pillow talk between the more sensitive members of the orgy. No matter. The erotic ethos remains.

    The album’s second half doesn’t let up on the grooves or the gusto.

    It’s the variety, vigour and conviction that makes this new record by Night Beats so impressive and engaging.
