Reviews / Album

"Despite the hipster criticism that is sure to follow this band, this is a worthwhile and, at times, rather exciting album."

"If you’ve a penchant for any European electro-pop, you might find something to love on Music & Sports.:

"The pop songsmithery is enticing, but hardly wild."

"Backsliders remain as important and endearing as ever."

"The Southwicks eschew typical song formats and avoid choruses, but the band more than make up for it with the passion and vigour of their instrumentation and the power of their vocal harmonies."

"There’s a familiarity in the wavelength-like undulations of Guilty Of Everything, but that makes it even more alluring."

"The cocaine blues snowstorm of Powder Train is a highlight on an otherwise playful and engaging debut."

"The results are a lot more danceable than True, for sure, but it feels like a pretty superfluous exercise."

"Ratking is another breath of fresh air in a continually revitalised genre."

"The devil is in the detail, and this has many."

"There’s a lot to laugh at, but there’s joy to be found too."
