CRITIC REVIEWS

80
Drowned in Sound

Weird Sister’s ebbs, flows, peaks and troughs: a shape-shifting, nuanced LP that could be described as derivative, but never formulaic.

AllMusic

Joanna Gruesome make music that's at once breath-catchingly exciting and heartwarmingly pretty at its core, and their first album is one that noise pop fans will treasure, crummy name and all.

80
DIY

Sometimes gloriously messy, sometimes just simply glorious, it is probably the most fun you'll have all year rhyming with harpists.

The Line of Best Fit

This isn’t a debut from a band on the transient fringes, it’s one from a sharp act with scores to offer beyond the gimmicks.

There may not be enough to lift them above the rather crowded market of similar sounding contemporaries on Weird Sister, but it does hint at a solid enough future.

Sweetness rising through walls of distortion. Lovely. The first half of the album is perfect, like a modern Psychocandy.
