  1. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    The primary influences (and template) are acutely intuitive composites of early Velvet Underground, Jonathan Richman, Television, The Only Ones and – make way for the secret ingredient – The Byrds

  2. 8.0 |   The Music

    Instantly comfortable but with a fascinating new veneer

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    One of the year's best. Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    The Molochs’ sound isn’t groundbreaking, but they’re repurposing familiar elements to make a statement that anyone who’s ever felt like a relic of a bygone age will understand

  5. 7.0 |   God Is In The TV

    The Molochs’ only problem is that they sound like nice, polite young men trying to be all dark and sneery like Lou Reed, when in fact they’re at their best when they sound cute and lovelorn like Jonathan Richman

  6. 6.8 |   Gig Soup

    One has the capability to go back and listen to the musicians that seem to have inspired The Molochs here and find much more compelling music

  7. 6.3 |   Earbuddy

    Start the new year off right with an album that sounds like it was recorded decades ago

  8. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Genre fans will love it – it’s the perfect soundtrack to pulling on your Chelsea boots and black crew-neck sweater. Those who see don’t especially wish it was 1965 again may be less convinced
