    Dance music gets one step closer to an honest depiction of euphoria; yes, yes, you’re drooling quite heavily, but at least you’re drooling through an earnest smile.

    Fans of experimentation with hardware in live shows, and evident in this work, Blondes have mixed all of these elements and delivered a fine album in Warmth.

    Taken all together, Warmth is an enveloping listen, whether you’re the type to get up and move to music, or just sit and overthink it.

    The music on Warmth is among the duo's most powerful, and several tracks from the LP could come alive in the right kind of DJ set.

    Warmth stands to resonate with those seeking a transportive experience whose peaks and valleys never overwhelm.

    On Warmth, Blondes haven't drastically improved on their sound, but they feel at home delivering ten more high-quality textural cuts.

    The great thing about Blondes is how they move through such simple ingredients as a decent bassline and a tight groove, and end up in some tripped out wonderland after nine minutes of hedonistic bliss. On Warmth, they’ve traded that sound for something a bit harder and more immediate, which doesn’t end up all bad, but does sacrifice that elegiac joy they used to perfect so readily.
