Critic Reviews

AllMusic
The quartet capture the same twilight-glow sound, where the fragile beauty of overdriven guitars meets gently soaring vocals in a soft mix of shoegaze grind and dream pop haze.

It pushes no boundaries, introduces nothing new, and basically rehashes what other better bands have done for years. And yet... It's still really enjoyable. Sometimes ya just need a good ole fashioned shoegaze album to lose yourself in and right now this fits the bill.

Took me a long time to get to this album in the end. Honeydew is a great single but beyond that i kept forgetting to come back to this album. Perfectly serviceable shoegaze record. Nothing new here and not a lot to keep me coming back. Best track: Honeydew.
