Mar 7, 2025An exceptional record.
-
Mar 6, 2025The juxtaposition of Williams’ words with the bright jangle rock within is what makes the album an enticing listen.
-

MojoMar 6, 2025It's Williams's confessions, delivered with an intensity worthy of Richard Thompson, that make their second album so compelling. [Apr 2025, p.79]

Mar 6, 2025The Tubs have proven to be an excellent band. They are also pretty predictable. Maybe this is what jangle music has become. However, I would argue that the Tubs can reach a deeper level, showing that they are taking risks and ultimately rewarding listeners who have otherwise enjoyed their music.
