Though Mitchell and Hamer avoid the kind of astringent vocal blends favoured by most British singers of these ballads, there's still an intriguing piquancy to their harmonies, with Mitchell's girlish timbre resting against Hamer's milder, warmer tones.- Uncut

The result is akin to Super Furry Animals making progressive post-punk. The sense of charm and idiosyncrasy is plentiful across the rest of the album too. [Mar 2020, p.29]- Uncut

The lyrics are presented with such conviction that it becomes quietly devastating. Rather like Swamp Dogg himself. [Apr 2020, p.24]- Uncut

As much as the likes of "Injury Detail" and "Peach Fuzz" evoke Clock DVA and early Psychic TV at their most unnerving, the group nevertheless achieve a grimy grandeur that feels modern, too. [Jun 2023, p.32]- Uncut

Country Funk unearths further lesser-known practitioners of this mythical genre. [Sep 2012, p.101]- Uncut

It's a beautiful-sounding record with tracks like "Somber The Drums" and "Everyone Out" providing moments of tender poppy beauty amid the general sense of decay. [Jun 2024, p.32]- Uncut

An intoxicating blend of surf-rock guitar and the blusterous post-rock drama of forefathers such as Lift To Experience; a bewitching blend that makes death's ominous presence feel that much closer. [Mar 2020, p.25]- Uncut

Constantly questing without ever becoming indulgent, 4 is intoxicating. [Nov 2008, p.94]- Uncut

"Die" is generic glam riffage, and "Magic" is a tedious Britpop stomp, but there are many successes. [Oct 2011, p.86]- Uncut

For purists, "Lonely Island" and "River Jordan" are closer to a bygone Nashville sound. [Aug 2014, p.78]- Uncut

It's the hushed, soul-searching moments--especially the lovelorn "Alone In Arizona" and the gorgeous, universal ballad "A Little Help"--that resonate most. [Jun 2016, p.71]- Uncut

His wrinkled brogue--warm, pithy, occasionally fluttering to a falsetto--is a thing of understated beauty in itself, framed in folk-shanty arrangements that make telling use of strings and bagpipes. [Oct 2016, p.32]- Uncut

Recorded partially outdoors, Resin Pockets' sometimes rough and rustic nature belies the grace and beauty in Jones' deceptively causal songs. [Jul 2017, p.26]- Uncut

This one feels a bit brighter, more pop, than usual, though the Stooges lift of "Some Unknown Reason" is dankly bloodied. [Sep 2019, p.24]- Uncut

They manage to retain the gravel in their throat while subtly expanding their sound on this fifth album. [Jun 2020, p.33]- Uncut

The retro-futurist fun peaks with the bopping space-disco of the title track and the irresistible "Refractions (In The Rain)," while loungey sax and self-help guides to meditation smooth "On The Other Side..."'s journey to the stars. [Nov 2021, p.27]- Uncut

A surprisingly moving reflection of the big issues - family, death and companionship - as he processes his feelings through caustic noise and deep-flanged techno. [Ju 2025, p.31]- Uncut

[Soulwax has] always been great at eroding the lines between rock and dance music, utilising and harnessing the power of the riff in an electronic context. This continues to be forcefully apparent on tracks like "Idiots In Love". [Dec 2025, p.36]- Uncut

This may just be [the] finest pop break-up album since [Justin] Timberlake's Justified. [Aug 2006, p.95]- Uncut
