The Digital Fix
This is one of the rare times where a record surpasses all expectations put in place by the singles. These young shoulders have sired a mature yet minimal electro pop masterpiece

The Times
Brooding disco meets slick, new-wave indie in this debut from the Manchester three-piece, which flirts with upbeat electronica while masterfully holding something back

This is how debut albums should be – full of ambition and energy coupled with the ability to execute ideas with precision. We Have Band – we have future

Although WHB is record which is slightly lacking in the verve and originality that would inspire people to really take the band to heart, it is certainly an admirable collection of finely constructed electro-pop songs
