- Critic Score
Beautifully written, played and sung, but just once it would be nice to hear a bit of distortion, a fluffed note and some real soul. [Jun 2004, p.96]- Q Magazine

Seductive, breathy and forlorn, [Trebeljahr] sounds like a more ethereal Sarah Cracknell. Oh, and the songs are top drawer, too. [May 2004, p.104]- Q Magazine

[The DFA's] desk work on Automato's impressive debut raises the profile of their proteges. [May 2004, p.98]- Q Magazine

What elevates The Veils above pleasant distraction... is [Andrews'] extraordinary, chameleon-like voice. [Mar 2004, p.113]- Q Magazine

The raggedy, pared-back approach puts the spotlight right back where it should be: on Moorer herself. [May 2004, p.106]- Q Magazine

If you were charmed by early Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, or simply fancy a bonkers tune-fest, this inspired, lo-fi rock is for you. [Apr 2004, p.114]- Q Magazine

Pretty yet inconsequential, like a collection of half-finished spy film themes. [May 2004, p.108]- Q Magazine

Instead of the darkness and foreboding that infects Johnson's original '30s recordings, we get a thoroughly gentrified version of the blues. [May 2004, p.100]- Q Magazine

The sex tracks themselves are more scary than seductive.... [But] the dancefloor tunes are far more slinky. [May 2004, p.107]- Q Magazine

For sheer bravado and imagination it's something that few bands will top this year. [Oct 2003, p.109]- Q Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Addictive R&B hooks and all-dancin', all-lovin' subject matter boosted with hot production tweaks. [Jun 2004, p.107]- Q Magazine

There's a gnawing gutlessness at work here, which ultimately sells him short. [Feb 2004, p.101]- Q Magazine
