    There's an urgency to The Leaf Library's latest that's unlike anything we've heard from them before. [May 2026, p.33]

    The album's nine tracks oscillate between driving neo-Krautrock and string-caressed pastoralism, everything garlanded by Kaye Gibson's euphoniously harmonised lead vocals and buffed to a gleaming finish by John Entire's mix. [May 2026, p.91]

    There is an eerie majesty threaded through this record that trickles through, burrows under the skin and then keeps going.

    Taken together, it's a set that, like much of Stereolab's output, welcomes the art-school kids, stoners, and indie pop sentimentalists alike.
