  6. 8.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    Harvey Milk never quite match the achievement of their canonical works, but, nevertheless, they've succeeded in stretching the running joke without dissolving into self-parody

  7. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

    Even at their heaviest, the group delivers the hooks, as on “I Did Not Call Out,” which pairs maximum pummel with a triumphant vocal line

  8. 8.0 |   NME

    Print edition only

  9. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    Where Harvey Milk stand in today's musical climate is hard to ascertain: too funny-odd to sit alongside the likes of Isis or Converge, too funny-haha to play nicely with Sunn O))) and the avant-garde

  10. 7.8 |   Pitchfork

    Yet another curiously strong record from one of today's most interesting bands, a worthy successor to their downtrodden pre-hiatus LPs, and one hell of a buzzkill

  11. 7.0 |   Prefix

    A Small Turn of Human Kindness's abstractness makes it a little less satisfying than its predecessor. But it's still a fascinating product of one of the more fascinating bands working in the bowels of rock 'n' roll today

  12. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Insofar as the band most certainly do not answer to you or I, you have to acknowledge that they have once again created something unencumbered by outside pressures - much like the new album by the Melvins, generally considered Harvey Milk's biggest influence

  13. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Simple, funereal doom, slowed down to a patience-testing degree, the anguish exuding from the spaces between the notes, which considering the already morose nature of their lyrics is saying something

Wet Leg  moisturizer

After the whirlwind of their debut album, the Isle Of Wight band could have capitulated to the pressure. Instead, they return smarter, sexier and altogether stronger NME

Wet Leg  moisturizer

There’s also a fluidity to the entirety of Moisturizer that ventures beyond the limitations of the debut and everything Wet Leg signalled in their early stages Far Out

Barry Can’t Swim  Loner

Loner is an easy improvement over Barry Can't Swim's debut album, and he retains his ability to craft reflective, sentimental material while strengthening his skills at making airtight tracks designed to ignite the dancefloor All Music
