Loud and Quiet
This is stunning work that’s more inventive than it may first appear.

The Guardian

Incidental Music is like a rollercoaster ride you want to get straight back on and do all over again.

The Line of Best Fit

There’s much on this sleek and self-confident debut to suggest that the young band are wholly capable of sculpting their own unique voice amongst all the others.

For a debut record, you cannot help but listen in disbelief.

The 405

The Manchester band’s debut album wears its musical influences on it sleeves but is too reverential in places and too stagnant in others.

A very strong debut that is reminiscent of Future Islands & The War on Drugs. This is stunning work.

This is refreshing. Love the long tracks - cross genre with a distinctive flavour of its own. Loved this first time through and think it's got legs too.

Great debut album! Will definitely be looking for more. Album starts off strong with Simpatico People and never lets up. It has a great 80's feel without sounding overdone and cliched.

Standouts: Simpatico People, Inspiration!, Nothing Is, WANT
Dropouts: none
