CRITIC REVIEWS

Drowned in Sound

This is a collection of elegantly assembled, fat-free pop songs, made from light and air and heart, and great choruses. It's the soul and centre of indie pop and deserves your immediate attention.

The 405

The Days Run Away won't win any prizes for originality, but it's got a lot of heart, and is difficult to resist, if not all but impossible.

The gist of The Days Run Away comes as no surprise; a compromise that fine-tunes the guitar pop that characterised Hunger, with glimmers of a more sophisticated side beginning to seep through.

AllMusic

An understated but brilliant celebration of both Frankie & the Heartstrings' unique songwriting and their catalog of classic pop influences.

NME

There's undoubtedly something there with Frankie – those effortless, skippy choruses aren't as easy to do as they seem. But he and his Heartstrings haven't quite found their true north yet.

DIY

'The Days Run Away' is a simple, pleasant, good-at-what-it-does indie pop album, but nothing spectacular.
