The 405
There's not very much, if anything at all, that the band do wrong on an album that packs as much excitement, energy and drive into 43 minutes that it can manage without spontaneously combusting

Drowned In Sound
At its strongest, Out Of View is brilliantly engrossing. But half-baked melodies and bloated structures often don't do enough to invite you into the songs in the first place

Once you’ve listened to the first phase of the record, you can’t help but wonder whether Stephanie Min’s glazed vocal melodies wholly compliment the bands’ intensity
