An elegant masterpiece of unabashed Anglophilia, all slow-motion shoegazer guitars chiming like beautiful bells of doom and icy, disaffected vocals that sound like the Psych Furs' Richard Butler minus the three-packs-a-day larynx damage.
-
Echoes of classic U2, Echo & the Bunnymen, and Swervedriver resonate throughout.
-
Alternative PressLongwave aren't so much groundbreakers as they are purveyors of haunting, earnest pop. [Apr 2003, p.80]
-
MojoBold, stirring and so unfashionable it just might work. [Mar 2003, p.114]
-
Even in spite of their obvious knack for a beast of a tune that knows no indie fear, they do a cracking job of getting peculiar on us as well.
-
A full three-fourths of the record feels more like the work of a band that hasn't yet staked out a sonic identity.
-
A little blood and dirt and humor might have catapulted this album into greatness.
