  1. 8.0 |   Subba Cultcha

    A fine record, beautifully crafted, executed and produced, and very worthy of heavy rotation this summer

  2. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    The only negative thing that I can say about the record is that at ten songs, it is over too quickly. You are left pining for future instalments

  3. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    A scintillating international trio whose reverence for tradition does not prevent them from performing utterly in the here and now. They don't make them like this anymore

    An enduring experience that reveals new depths with each spin

  5. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Encapsulates Sparrow And The Workshop from the opening sparks to the dying embers; a scintillating international trio whose reverence for tradition does not prevent them from performing utterly in the here and now

  6. 7.5 |   BBC

    There are a fair few ripe moments

  7. 6.0 |   NME

    There’s fight in them yet
    Read Review

  8. 6.0 |   The Scotsman

    While the overall thrust of their blues-tinged indie sound is satisfying, the songs don't stand out as readily as on the group's previous outings

  9. 6.0 |   Mojo

    They make an almighty racket and they deserve almighty success. Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   Q

    An admirable stride ahead. Print edition only

  11. 4.0 |   Uncut

    Over-keen to impress [and] prone to histrionics. Print edition only
