Critic Reviews

Pitchfork

As shoegaze morphed from a buzzy London scene to just another timbral choice for bedroom rockers, Delaware’s ambitious highs cemented its reputation as a foundational album, a real piece of work.

Delaware is pleasant, just not completely special.

At least this album is more interesting than the state it's named after

That’s a C tier state at most. There’s nothing interesting about it. “Oh but it’s the first one!” Shut the fuck up, this isn’t a youtube comment section, get a real personality.

(Also why was there a drone metal track at the end?? It’s great but why is it here lol)

Wow, "Kick the Tragedy" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life.
