  4. 8.0 |   NME

    Built out of the perpetual miseries of the nine-to-five grind, this Pennsylvania four-piece has learned to find joy in the seemingly banal

  5. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    It is the contrast between the mundanity of the everyday life, personal vanities and dissatisfactions of a bunch of self-styled ""young adults"" and the terrific roar and hyperbole of their dirty, dark riff-laden music that provides the neat twist in Pissed Jeans' tail

  6. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    Their collective, self-absorbed disposition seems almost pseudo-homage to the alternative rock of yore that they work to revive. Pissed Jeans exchange “wallowing” for “acknowledging,” a tougher stance on trials and tribulations producing adrenalized results

  8. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    This isn’t a pop record—despite the humor, it’s still bleak, intense, and uncompromising. The wall-of-sludge behind Korvette’s yelpy growl is industrial-grade dense, and when the smoke does clear, you can’t even be sure if you like what you see.

Wet Leg  moisturizer

After the whirlwind of their debut album, the Isle Of Wight band could have capitulated to the pressure. Instead, they return smarter, sexier and altogether stronger NME

Wet Leg  moisturizer

There’s also a fluidity to the entirety of Moisturizer that ventures beyond the limitations of the debut and everything Wet Leg signalled in their early stages Far Out

Barry Can’t Swim  Loner

Loner is an easy improvement over Barry Can't Swim's debut album, and he retains his ability to craft reflective, sentimental material while strengthening his skills at making airtight tracks designed to ignite the dancefloor All Music
