It's an appropriately trying listen, far removed from 2010's relatively mannered debut. [Sep 2016, p.92]- Mojo

If the band's 2012 debut for the label, 119, attracted a certain amount of criticism from early-day fans due to its diversity, then No Peace is a more cohesive record. [Jul 2014, p.86]- Mojo

It occasionally drifts away but with a subtle pillowy beat or piano, Brun holds it together beautifully. [Jan 2021, p.85]- Mojo

[Wolf Parade] stand against the day, insisting, "We can begin again." Doing it less with grand declarations than moments of grace. [Mar 2020, p.89]- Mojo

The spaciousness foregrounds the band's relentless pulse and frontman Timo Kaukolampi's incantations. [Apr 2016, p.93]- Mojo

The result is a dazzlingly crafted bunch of hazy, West Coast pop gems stuffed with Santanaesque six-string wizardry. [Mar 2014, p.91]- Mojo

It's all high drama, dark figures and wild impulses - hugely entertaining, but when Muphy sings "this is the meaning of my life", you don't doubt it for a second. [Jun 2025, p.86]- Mojo

As ever, McClure's everyman persona is the hook that draws you in. [Jul 2012, p.85]- Mojo

The excellent concept sometimes outshines the music, but if everyone's a tourist, this is the trip to go on. [Nov 2022, p.88]- Mojo

Anderson's typically earnest, if uncharacteristically earnest, readings of Buddist sutras punchuate proceedings, and a pervading transcendence lingers long after the music has ceased.[Nov 2019, p.89]- Mojo

Gray returns in strident form with this mature mediation on womanhood, sex and love. [Nov 2014, p.102]- Mojo

Occasionally, delicate folktronica beauty mixes dreamy acoustic music with intense, layered electronics, while at others, the ambient wash leaves so little to focus on it's hard not to wonder if they didn't simply fall asleep in the studio. [Apr 2018, p.95]- Mojo

Mister Pop is at once an old friend and a stotal stranger. [Nov 2009, p.100]- Mojo

The duo's valiant attempt to circumvent the buzz-kill of pre-meditation can only take them so far, however, and Arthur Buck is not without the odd dud. [Jul 2018, p.89]- Mojo

Walker's narratives land like a looser Lucy Dacus or a more skittish Craig Finn (especially on the regret-buckled Bitter Root Lake), her voice shat=ring the fur-rubbed-the-wrong-way scratchiness of Jeffrey Lewis or Kimya Dawson. [Sep 2025, p.85]- Mojo

Each of the album's 10 songs is a downbeat, dreamy, ultra-melodic yet angular nugget. [Sep 2019, p.90]- Mojo

Crow sounds wholly at ease, but for all the vocal variety Stevie Nicks, James Taylor and a rueful Vince Gill bring, she doesn't sound wholly inspired. [Oct 2019, p.89]- Mojo

The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends was the perfect Record Store Day artefact--dramatising the value and mystique of physical recordings. [Sep 2012, p.94]- Mojo

While Wu's trademark kung-fu film samples can't help but sound dated some 18 years after their breathtaking debut similar charges crumble to dust against the renewed evangelism of Ghostface Killah. [Oct 2011, p.104]- Mojo

One senses New Shapes Of Life will probably mean less to the world at large than it clearly does to its author, but it has moments of intense beauty. [Dec 2017, p.86]- Mojo

Sounds reassuringly expensive. ... Decent instrumental takes on Lao Schifrin's The Cat plus Fiona Apple's elegant Don't Worry 'Bout Me make this more than the stocking-filler that won't unnerve Aunt Norah. [Jan 2020, p.90]- Mojo

A sense of growth, impermanence and yearning runs through these songs. [Mar 2016, p.96]- Mojo

May is less successful on the rockers - not so much through lack of "oomph" or authenticity, but because the songs aren't great. ... Way more subtle, convincing, and apparently deeply felt are the tumbling country soul of Different Kinds Of Love and the lovely Dusty In Memphis vibes of Diamonds. [May 2021, p.80]- Mojo
