    Sequenced into an almost seamless tapestry, most of these tracks flow along in a pleasant but unremarkable vein of propulsive, melodic, Hot Chip-style synth-pop. [Jun 2014, p.83]

    Besides ‘It Is Only You’ and ‘Here Comes The Storm’, the mountain-shouting bravado of old tracks like ‘Borders’ and ‘Put You In Your Place’ has been dampened, but TSU is an intriguing new sunrise.

    The Sunshine Underground has managed to take the band’s signature big hooks and beats and transform them into something bigger and more relevant, Orton’s contribution a key aspect.

    This album gently shimmers when you want it to dazzle. [Jun 2014, p.121]

    The Sunshine Underground suffers from muddled ideas and rampant over-ambition.
