  1. 9.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    Twin Sister ultimately make music seemingly wired to appeal to our most intrinsic pleasure centers, and — as befits the album's title — it's nothing short of rapturous
    Read Review

  2. 8.5 |   The Quietus

    An album that is fluent in many different languages; that it switches between them so subtly is nothing short of remarkable
    Read Review

  3. 8.3 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    Most intriguing about them is how frighteningly vulnerable and isolated they sound
    Read Review

  4. 8.1 |   Beats Per Minute

    Well-written enough to be memorable and nimble enough to constantly surprise
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   Mojo

    The tunes are all there but the mood is woozy, the arrangements spare and programmed to hypnotize. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Over the course of ten mostly excellent tracks, Twin Sister let us know in no uncertain terms exactly who they are: a brilliant pop group

  7. 8.0 |   Clash

    This lot write proper songs with melodies that are frequently very lovely indeed
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   BBC

    There’s something intriguingly wispy and ungraspable about Twin Sister’s music that makes them so much more than cute
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   The Fly

    It’s a heavenly concoction, rendered so beautifully that the only pigeonhole it fits into is one labelled “gloriously unclassifiable”
    Read Review

  10. 8.0 |   The Digital Fix

    A perfectly-formed collection of ten songs that marry oh-so-indie boy/girl dreaminess with an idiosyncratic electro pallette
    Read Review

  11. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    A well-produced, inviting album with some wonderful moments spread throughout
    Read Review

  12. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    For such a young band, Twin Sister has crafted a work of real emotional depth
    Read Review

  13. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    This band have a bit of an edge over their Brooklyn counterparts, something hard to find in an overcrowded scene like theirs
    Read Review

  14. 7.8 |   Pitchfork

    From Stereolab-like lounge-pop to R&B-flecked Young Marble Giants minimalism, these guys run the gamut
    Read Review

  15. 7.5 |   Paste Magazine

    What makes these guys so great is their willingness to explore a song’s DNA, to fuck around with what makes a track tick

  16. 7.0 |   Prefix

    Twin Sister live up to their advance press here: They’re a good band with room to grow, and a couple great songs
    Read Review

  17. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Twin Sister proves that good things come to those who wait
    Read Review

  18. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    They draw heavily on 80s synth-pop and disco, but rarely verge on sounding like a retread of old ground
    Read Review

  19. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Twin Sister have a fantastic way of appearing sonically aloof and indistinct yet stealthily inveigle their way into your affections with gorgeous pulls of sound
    Read Review

  20. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    In Heaven falls a little short of emulating their best moments
    Read Review

  21. 6.0 |   NME

    Peaks when it's at its most playful. Print edition only

  22. 6.0 |   Spin

    For all its languid rookie charms, In Heaven might be best remembered as the harbinger of a more consistent sequel
    Read Review

  23. 6.0 |   Bowlegs

    Maybe it’s called progress, but their personality has been compromised
    Read Review

  24. 5.0 |   A.V. Club

    With obvious technical ability and Estella’s vocal gifts, Twin Sister has an opportunity to stand out from the pack. But In Heaven suggests the band has become too comfortable too quickly
    Read Review

  25. 2.0 |   Uncut

    An exasperating listen. Print edition only
