If the album has a fault, it's in sequencing, with some of stronger moments low in the pecking order. [May 2015, p.99]- Mojo

A record, which, though obviously heartfelt, never sounds unified. [May 2015, p.98]- Mojo

Hinterland feels less like the spirit of the dance floor and much more like the crush of a weaponed march. [May 2015, p.98]- Mojo

An album whose wider appeal reaches for powerpop nirvana. [May 2015, p.98]- Mojo

The razor-wire riffs some of their best. [May 2015, p.98]- Mojo

Hallelujah, melodies and lyrics are not just sensitive but sharp and witty, glittering with a dazzle reminiscent of Britpop at its deftest. [May 2015, p.96]- Mojo

The whole thing carves out and inhabits a persuasively exotic world of echo that invites total immersion. [May 2015, p.97]- Mojo

Sauna becomes a transitional journey of self-surrender, Elverum's soft-sung imagist perceptions slowly reaching toward a quiet, meditative transcendence. [May 2015, p.96]- Mojo

Edge Of The Sun offers no real surprises, but it is perhaps their poppiest set yet. [May 2015, p.99]- Mojo

Living Fields is no instant hit, but the twilight world you're eventually drawn into is difficult to leave. [May 2015, p.98]- Mojo

If nothing here quite reaches the hook-laden heights of Outdoor Miner or Kidney Bingos, there are plenty of sunlit avant-pop uplands. [May 2015, p.97]- Mojo

It's Bronxie's heart, soul and natural world-inspired epiphanies that charm most. [May 2015, p.96]- Mojo

Tripp is a complicated, slow-burning wonder that matches Cerulean Salt for fuzzy, bed-headed zingers but adds several layers of regret and self doubt and is all the more rewarding for that. [May 2015, p.95]- Mojo

They lurch between plaid-smothered unresolved chords and frontwoman Sadie Dupuis's verbose story-telling, delivered deadpan a la early Liz Phair. [May 2015, p.95]- Mojo

Here technology is merely a vessel for a sound that remains pastoral and beguiling. Truly, a class act. [May 2015, p.95]- Mojo

Their second outing makes no effort to remap their coordinates: they remain riffy, distorted, full of nocturnal energy, possessed of rollicking good tunes, but also open up a more expansive goth-rock strain on indie-radio cuts. [May 2015, p.94]- Mojo

The fourth LP is blisteringly confident as the band evolves toward maturity. [May 2015, p.94]- Mojo

White Men Are Black Men Too places Young Fathers firmly alongside Suede, Dizzee Rascal and Arctic Monkeys in the pantheon of those whose post-Mercury follow-ups confirm they know exactly where they're going and aren't going to let winning a modest prize distract them. [May 2015, p.88]- Mojo
