  1. 8.5 |   The Quietus

    The krautrock influences remain firmly in place but here they've added a greater a sense of sonic joy that's clearly aimed at the dancefloor

  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Delirious set of accessible dance pop that leaves it's inhibitions firmly at the door. Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   Beardfood

  5. 6.0 |   Uncut

    An ability to update immaculate referrences like Neu!, Moroder and Eno with a throbbing power that is hard to resist. Print edition only

  12. 5.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Artificial Sweeteners leaves them in a kind of purgatory; it’s bound to please their existing fans, but hardly seems likely to win them many new ones
