  1. 8.5 |   Bowlegs

    Exhilarating girl-group harmonies, guitars that sometimes twang, sometimes hum and a brace of great tunes
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   NME

    It feels impossibly epic and for all its scuzzy, lo-fi production, it still founds fully realised. Not to mention fully brilliant

  3. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    It's hard to deny the simple, joyful throb of this half-hour treat

  4. 8.0 |   AU Review

    This eponymous debut is sublime; wave after wave of woozy, head-fuck space guitars that sit somewhere between a handful of shrooms, The Shangri-Las and the exospher

  5. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    As she chews music up and spits it out, she makes a beautiful mess

  6. 8.0 |   Scotland on Sunday

    This album is all about the post-punk ethos of tuneful thrash

  7. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A lot more than just another interesting back story

  8. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    Though tied to her sound, she’s at least conscientious enough to make sure its romance remains intact
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   Prefix

    Like labelmates The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Frankie Rose and the Outs succeed in raiding their labels' back catalog and actually improving on it

  10. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Has enough moments of inspiration that’ll keep you interested
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   Q

    She excels when she stacks up layers of her ghostly choirgirl voice within a more lush framework. Print edition only

  12. 6.0 |   Mojo

    '60s girl pop, Phil Spector and surf music's reverb wash. Print edition only

  13. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Even if Rose is short on killer tunes or delivery, her oversupply of nostalgic charm is ultimately no bad thing. Print edition only

  14. 6.0 |   Blurt

    Rose and company haven't strayed too far from her love of ‘60s pop of Ronettes/Spector meets ‘80s UK pop of Shop Assistants and Jesus & Mary Chain wall of noise pop tunes

Latest Reviews

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

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
