    It's a sandbox of a record, less interested in establishing a specific musical identity than a general sense of (renewed) creative potential. [No. 132, p.61]

    The combination of rekindled friendship and enchanting location seems to have inspired a new sound: a beguiling mix of highlife guitar riffs, speaker-busting sub bass and hymnal, churchlike harmonies.

    Blending experimental excursions and more straightforward synth pop throughout, Throws isn't challenging so much as eccentric, and overcomes a thread of grayness with a spirited fancifulness.

    Though it may take a few listens to reveal itself, Throws is a playful and inventive album that reveals little rewarding moments with each spin.

    Genders' decision to forsake his husky tones for a forthright falsetto immediately adds an unsettling nuance to Throws' twisting tales and burrowing melodies. [Jul 2016, p.93]

    The sound of two talented men messing around and letting off steam in a studio. Much livelier than Tunng. [Jul 2016, p.81]
