  2. 8.0 |   Blurt

    Past Lives have created an intensely interesting record with a sound that is firmly locked into the future of punk rock. It's not always as noisy, but it's still poignant, political, emotional, and immediate

  3. 7.5 |   Pitchfork

    An encouraging, welcome surprise - a clear sign that the musicians involved are pushing themselves and searching for something new

  4. 7.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    Past Lives prove how musicians spawned from relatively constrictive sonic bloodlines, like hardcore, can eventually produce something that's different, yet equally penetrating

  5. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Sounds like the work of accomplished, seasoned musicians, it’s occasionally a bit too unassuming for its own good

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

Baxter Dury  Allbarone
