  1. 8.0 |   All Music

  2. 8.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Flourishes in the complex tension between the Greenes' mellifluous vocal harmonies, their jarring, amorphous lyrics, and the haunted-house dream pop in which both are encased

  3. 7.5 |   Under The Radar

    This is an exceptionally strong collection that underlines this project's unique voice and establishes it as more than just a tantalizing tentacle of Black Moth Super Rainbow

  4. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Most of these tracks feature intensely reverbed 808 drums and super-heavy buzzsaw synth drones, and all of them put the oddly sweet, multi-tracked, sparrow-faced vocals of Phaedra and Elsa Greene right out front

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
