...."This music is quick-paced and mind altering, expansive and timeless. They mould their soundscapes with perfectly restrained overdrive, and sculpt, from their overwhelming and disorientating drives, sound art in its truest form." - This Music Wins
soaked in a glacial shade of feedback and reverb courtesy of former Model Morning duo McCleary and Chris Moore, while the impeccable rhythm section of Chris Davis and Matthew Holt keep things ticking over at the back. It's the addition of Kat Heath on vocals though that elevates said songs to dizzier M83 scraping heights, the proverbial final piece of a seemingly never-ending jigsaw that almost ended in tears, yet could just be the band that finally puts Nottingham back on the map after far too long in musical obscurity. - Drowned In Sound

Atmospheric jangling guitars, tender vocals and an up-tempo rhythm- the sound will serenade you into a state of bliss and euphoria 8/10? Sound Lab
