  3. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Lightning Dust ensure that left-field pop continues to reign supreme, if not a tiny bit sombre

  4. 7.0 |   Spin

    They apply a borrowed Steinway Grand and some retro synths to a mess of ideas, from the rockabilly-plus-tabla stomp of “The Time” to the Arcade Fire mimicry of “Antonia Jane.”

  5. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    In a year swarming with disappointments, tumbling from the breathlessly hyped box of new releases, it’s a relief to report that the sophomore effort from Black Mountain cohorts Lightning Dust is a refreshing follow-up to their satisfying debut

  6. 7.0 |   Clash

  7. 6.0 |   The Independent

    The duo have retained their knack for conjuring a haunting melody, which on tracks such as ""Wondering What Everyone Knows"" and ""Honest Man"" recalls the sweetness of such comparable psych-pop outfits as Joy Zipper and Dean & Britta
