CRITIC REVIEWS

85
Beats Per Minute

It’s not an album that immediately reveals itself, but when it lets you in it’s hard to find your way out.

80
Drowned in Sound

If this is the aftershock that chillwave wrought, you have to suspect the whole shazam was totally worthwhile.

71
Pitchfork

Untogether is less interested in blending all its competing enthusiasms together and more intent on emphasizing the space that separates them

70
Consequence of Sound

With Untogether, Blue Hawaii has grasped the measured spaces that a distance leaves behind, emotional or otherwise, into a rich — albeit pained — work. 

70
FACT Magazine

Untogether is a well executed record, but not a stunning one.

67
Pretty Much Amazing

Untogether is meant for those cold, murky nights in which we feel completely and utterly alone.

60
DIY

While ‘Untogether’ is immaculately put together, it does take a while to cross over and connect with you.

50
PopMatters

There are moments on Untogether where the music comes close to the sensuality that it frequently hints at, but it’s so caught up in embracing separation that it pushes out anything resembling redemption.

50
Tiny Mix Tapes

Aa solid collection of songs that shouldn’t put the talent of its writers in question, but that ultimately — and quite frustratingly — falls short of expectations, particularly when considered alongside those fomented by their past work.

I love their recent stuff but I can't vibe with this album (or their first EP). But there's definitely some nice songs in here.
Favorites: Try to Be and In Two.

The common picture of an electronic duo that presents its ideal version of the kitchen sink drama.
And it has its moments!

I had to listen more than 5 times to capture all the beauty here, is definitively a difficult album, but when you see underneath, you really see a amanzing and breath taking album.
