"That’s to say, it’s entirely enjoyable, occasionally brilliant, but ultimately only really essential for diehard fans of the genre."

While never as great as it could be, this is a very promising house debut.

Beautifully distorted and overdriven guitars hold the record together through looser moments and poppier hooks.

Whether they’re striving to intellectually challenge or entertain, the band is a constant pleasure and one we can only hope to see back soon.

Never groundbreaking or boring, this should more than sate any Japanophile punk rocker.

All Tomorrow's Parties' lineup was Andrew McDonald's highlight for 2013.

Having the man who wrote it croon and wail his way through it all is something to treasure.

Wild Light is a brilliant and mature record that never loses sight of its multifaceted goals – whether it branches out to dance, rock or noise.

Its eclectic time signatures and vocal loops will hardly please everyone, but to those they will – that’ll hardly matter a bit.

There’s no way to avoid the fact that Shining Bird are one of the best up-and-coming band’s in the state. Do yourself a favour and catch them live as soon as possible.
