    Whitehorse could easily have played it safe here, but they didn't; as a result, Panther in the Dollhouse is one of the best albums of the summer, if not the year.

    It’s certainly one you’ll replay multiple times to appreciate the intricate sonic structure and imbibe Whitehorse’s often oblique wordplay with a sure sense of a hyphenated musical mixture that is elusively familiar and wildly idiosyncratic.

    We’re hanging on to them by our fingernails, but this is impressive stuff.

    The music offers a pastiche of styles to create something that echoes the ‘40s and ‘50s, with accents from the ‘60s and ‘70s (like that Farfisa organ on “Nighthawks”) and contemporary beat box rhythms. ... It’s difficult to explain, but the music has a strong, charismatic appeal.
