CRITIC REVIEWS

90
Drowned in Sound

A debut album containing no filler whatsoever, and a record that mirrors the ferocious intensity of those live shows to boot.

FEWS have created an excellent debut they can be proud of. Fresh, exhilarating and mesmerizingly addictive, Means is neither a limousine nor a Mini – it’s a triumph from start to finish.

The Skinny

Means is shadowed and dizzying, sour and fleeting. The album captures the essence of an indie sound that's almost universally considered to be jaded, and proves that the genre may be weatherworn, but its framework is ripe for a renovation.

AllMusic
Fews' lean rib-showing sound has just enough rock grit to counter its Scandinavian austerity.
70
Clash
The ‘00s post punk bands FEWS share the most DNA with all crammed everything they had to offer the world onto their first albums without paying heed to what they would have left in the tank down the road. 'Means', on the other hand, shows a band putting off their prime in order to dig foundations on which to build bigger and better things.

The Line of Best Fit

As a whole, it’s just a shame that on Means, FEWS’ originality seems far between.
