    A low-key exploration of how delicate melodies, processed noise and the occasional beat can intertwine, When It Rains drifting artfully to uncompromised skronk. [Oct 2025, p.83]

    While this long-gestating album bears very little for those artists' fans to immediately relate to, it conjures something new and different instead. [Nov 2025, p.103]

    "Timber" is almost all Tyler, "Spider Ballad" a lowkey club throbber, all of it only made possible by this unexpected partnership. [Nov 2025, p.33]

    Perhaps the main strength of 41 Longfield Street Late ‘80s is that these songs rarely turn out to be what you thought they might be, which is a fairly on the nose metaphor for life itself – especially viewed 35 years later through the distorted prism of the 2020s.

    An unusual, beguiling collaboration, you hope it’s the first chapter in this duet, and not the last.

    The duo’s mutual respect, selfless skills, and tender chemistry have delivered an album that is among both artists’ best.

    An attempt to resurrect the good old days and/or boys this is not, but Tyler and Hebden have managed to provide a fresh if slightly disjointed take on formative inspiration.
