    There is a broad crossover appeal, and there is so much to unpack. They have taken the sounds of their EPs and expanded into something more expansive, without losing what endeared them to audiences. This is a thrilling, evocative debut that lives up to the hype.

    Two years on from the initial release of ‘Norwegian Wood’ – cue an onslaught of media attention, baseless industry plant allegations and Courtney Love’s stamp of approval – Picture Parlour have honed a sound that feels admirably self-assured and truly authentic.

    On this debut album, Picture Parlour have shown that, in time, they have the skillset and belief to escape the shadow of their idols, and refine their own unique sound that future rock’n’roll bands will be dying to emulate.
