May 20, 2016Wild Pendulum makes a strong case that the Trash Can Sinatras may never lose the plot. It's also quite likely the best sophisticated guitar pop album anyone is likely to hear in 2016, made either by whippersnappers or old-timers.

May 20, 2016Overall, Wild Pendulum is a very good record that will please their small and adoring fanbase, but likely won't win over too many new converts. At this point, though, they know full well where they stand and who they are. Music this gorgeous, fragile and emotional should be embraced and celebrated.

May 20, 2016Wild Pendulum’s flaws are admirable ones, the result of ambition more than apathy. Furthermore, the lush ornamental arrangements on these songs do little to disguise the effortlessly toe-tapping melodies that permeate each piece of music.
