    Despite its heavier moments, ‘Which Way to Happy’ is a genuinely healing listen; an album to get cosy with while its music lovingly soaks your wounds.

    Outperforming what was an impressive debut, Which Way to Happy takes its immersive qualities to another level.

    There may be no one track that could be a crossover commercial hit for the Wolter siblings, but this is an album full of signs of longterm progress. This is the sound of a band in it for the long haul, and by the sounds of it, it’s going to be quite the journey for them.

    Songs come bathed in sparkling synths and warming strings, but melodies are unpredictable and unsettling, bearing repeat listens. [Jan 2022, p.29]

    A music-box intricacy keeps these anxious, wondering songs on a room-sized scale even as they worry at the big issues over strings and keyboards. [Dec 2021, p.90]

    The album ends up as a mildly effective collection of subgenre pastiches that only occasionally manages to rise above the recognition of each style.
