More muscular, less ethereal than 2007's "...Are The Dark Horse," it is no less exciting. [Apr 2010, p.99]- Mojo

An extraordinary record... It's not, nor is it intended to be, easy listening. [Sep 2004, p.94]- Mojo

Doomed to the shadows of Flying Nun's more famed exponents, this box set should finally rehabilitate the band. [Sep 2015, p.103]- Mojo

An intriguing blend of countrified, down-tempo acoustic charm. [Nov 2015, p.96]- Mojo

You're left with the impression that Lower Dens are both big sounding and very clever. [Jun 2012, p.85]- Mojo

The overriding tone recalls Lana Del Rey's gothic torch song elegies, albeit with far more economy and less overacting. [Dec 2015, p.93]- Mojo

Few albums meld frank postcards from the psyche with such poppy directness. [Apr 2016, p.93]- Mojo

A progression in Blake's music, his melodies less elusive, his productions less ethereal. [Mar 2019, p.88]- Mojo

A sense of closure pervades here. The group's hermeticism-influenced lyrics remain cryptic as ever, it's true, but TSOOL will be missed. [Jul 2012, p.94]- Mojo

There's a cohesion and thrust to the fusion, a mathematically bracing energy that they have't quite located since 2011's D. [Apr 2019, p.86]- Mojo

As with 2023's downbeat Everything Harmony, what might be a Beatles-beach-Boys-Big-Star data-scrape is elevated through high-calibre songwriting. [Jun 2024, p.82]- Mojo

Django Django confound because they sound gloriously, unpredictably new, but also recall past bands and sounds gone. [Feb 2012, p.98]- Mojo

No more the quieter introspection and reflection of solo tracks like Hormones or Fever Dream – here Thorn and Watt are a combined force, capturing the giddy euphoria and release of the club experience.- Mojo

Thunderstorm Warnings doesn't put a foot wrong, delivering the big music with heart instead of bluster. [Mar 2021, p.90]- Mojo

Performance is White Denim's most produced album, thickly textured with brass, keyboards and studio atmospheres. Play it loud, though, and you easily imagine the euphoria at the bar after every track. [Sep 2018, p.84]- Mojo

This is Hogan's first solo album in 11 years and her best. [Aug 2012, p.96]- Mojo

Black Age Blues is satisfyingly solid and reassuringly familiar a comeback as you'd expect. [Jul 2015, p.89]- Mojo

Goat Girl grapple with strings, makeshift choirs, electronics and mellotron in a quietly exploratory set of off-centre tunes and potent lyrical questioning. [Jul 2024, p.92]- Mojo

i,i never sounds less than excellent, with wide-open acoustic/electric audio structures allowing pizzicato strings to waft through and rising clouds of horns to blow in unexpectedly. It really is bleeding edge stuff. [Oct 2019, p.90]- Mojo

44 minutes of scourging song broken up by ambient drone, terrifying din and choral interludes - is both uncompromising and brilliant. [Aug 2023, p.85]- Mojo

Though the lyrics sometimes explore the US's increasingly polarised political allegiances, Leithauser's passionate optimism and the record's grooving drums keeps our spirits up until mesmeric guitar arpeggios usher in the beautifully pensive title track/closer. [Apr 2025, p.79]- Mojo
