    If you’re already a fan of 80s alt.pop, or modern shoegaze, then give this album a go; it’s by no means a bad album after all (despite my gripes). But if you’re not a fan this is unlikely to turn you, and may just make you yearn for some music with a bit more bight.

    Tranquilizers is a fitting companion piece to Velvet Change, providing two ends of the spectrum that Jones has found himself in. His evident comfort with this material is encouraging, but it’s clear that there’s still room to progress for Dog Bite.

    Despite a few obvious highlights and stuff worthy of mention, you’ve heard this all before and, unfortunately, done a whole lot better.

    The truth is Tranquillisers has no teeth; being neither truly reprehensible nor in the slightest bit memorable.

    If a little more time been spent focusing on the increased R&B influence, Tranquilizers could've been the rejuvenation chillwave deserves.
