    A collection of singles as opposed to a complete album. That said each song stand on its own well enough for this to be considered a strong album overall. perhaps the album format doesn't suit Circa Waves so much, and there's nothing wrong with that at all.

    Summer vibes all round with Young Chasers which may be the albums only downfall. It is no surprise then that the more oblique of the track list is the best the band have to offer, not to say the likes of 'Stuck In My Teeth' cannot be annoyingly infectious.

    It's still unclear, for all the charm and enthusiasm, exactly what might mark them out, make them a cause, a rally call. For now, though, Young Chasers is just enough to keep them out in front. [Apr 2015, p.103]

    The production sound is also very Strokes-esque, with Shudall's vocals often layered with a delicate haze of fuzzy EFX à la Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas. That said, the comparison might be a bit more of a critique were it not for the sheer high quality and infectious nature of Circa Waves' songs.
