Reviews / Album

Anyone expecting the stately atmospherics of Isis or cultured post-metal of Circle will be in for a rude slap around the chops...

The distinctive nature of Beach House is still all there...

A culmination of the best elements of their work to date.

Short, sharp and extreme!

The perfect companion to 2005's dark party piece Light At The End Of The Tunnel. The two albums fit (disinfected) hand in rubber-gloved-fist.

Heavy offering from Perth upstarts.

Literally half the band departing has obviously resulted in the conclusion that the box-ticking Gothenburg-infused metalcore they were peddling wasn’t working.

Gorgeous and personal, On The Water is an album of majesty and grace, the defining document for Herring’s immense songwriting talents.

The flaws reveal themselves more in the flow of the record than that of Burnett’s rhymes.

A sense of remorse and longing burbles underneath the surface, and it is this omniscient presence that drives the album.
