  1. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    It’s Own Sun will be pure Notwist to most ears, with follow-up Death Major much the same story for Themselves

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Sinuous lo-fi beats brushing against saxes, woodwinds and vintage synths. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   Subba Cultcha

    A thrilling album which any alt-hop fan should feel proud to add to their collection

  5. 7.5 |   Bowlegs

    A compelling release
    Read Review

  6. 7.0 |   Spin

    Seems more like a high-concept mash-up than a true collaboration. Sometimes, however, it works beautifully

  7. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It’s impossible not to admire the dedication and commitment to an aesthetic that both parties clearly believe in

  8. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    A bit too rote and predictable
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   Pitchfork

    A neat project with many moments of interest, but it's disappointing that the second album doesn't cohere overall any better than the first

  10. 6.0 |   Q

    The Notwist adding melody to the fractured electronica of Themselves and gaining rhythmic substance in return. Print edition only
