    A good new album. Lower Dens is not a band that has to stretch too far for brainy, steely, atmospheric electronic pop, but latent rage is expressed in the absurdity of "Young Republicans."

    Clever, if a little monotonous; very much an LP for our times. [Nov 2019, p.112]

    Lower Dens have the right ideas for their music, but they’re not always the right ideas at the right time. This album, flawed as it may be, is still worthwhile for when the latter happens, like with the heated guitar work and wailing vocals of ‘Two-Faced Love’.
