  1. 8.0 |   Subba Cultcha

    2011 may well be the year of Funeral Party as has been suggested, and this debut has definitely not harmed those chances

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    Thrilling. Print edition only

  3. 7.0 |   BBC

    If the latest serving of salad days for indie has to start somewhere, it could do a whole lot worse than here

  4. 7.0 |   FasterLouder

    A polished, danceable punk record

  5. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    A bit more time working on ideas instead of working up a sweat might have been better
    Read Review

  6. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    The overall lack of variation means that, after a while, The Golden Age Of Knowhere’s tracks all seem to bleed into one another

  7. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Fun and visceral, but not something to write home about. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Their sheer intensity makes a exhausted style sound thrilling again

  9. 6.0 |   NME

    In its moments of brilliance, it’s the catchiest, danciest jangly guitar pop you’ll hear this side of the summer. Sadly, those moments are few and far between

  10. 6.0 |   Clash

    Ultimately comes across as try-hard penthouse party than wild warehouse rave

  11. 5.0 |   The Observer

    The rock resurrection does not start here
    Read Review

  12. 5.0 |   The Fly

    Seriously disappointing
    Read Review

  13. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    Peaks at the beginning and slides gradually downhill from the moment “New York City Moves to the Sound of LA” ends
    Read Review

  14. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    The thing that made Funeral Party exciting in the first place – that their sole function seemed to be to get people dancing – gets sidelined on Golden Age Of Knowhere

Hovvdy  Hovvdy

The Austin duo’s hushed and unassuming double album is a capstone to their career so far, a scrapbook of moments of love and loss from a life well-lived Pitchfork

Hovvdy  Hovvdy

The pair have fully blossomed from their early DIY start, showcasing an incredible range of indie pop craftsmanship and a grounded centredness built on empathy and understanding Exclaim

Hovvdy  Hovvdy

If at times you crave for something unhinged across these 19 songs, the sonic equivalent of a psychic break to disrupt the constant temperate mood, you inevitably fall back on Martin and Taylor’s fluid warmth. Their transition into scarred adult terrain still sounds remarkably peaceful Under The Radar
