Heza might not be the most original album you hear this year – Generationals are far from the only band making chirpy, world-influenced indie-pop at the moment – but it has so much genuine charm, so expertly executed, that it’s impossible not to fall for.

70
AllMusic

Heza is a nuanced work that flirts with the experimental, but always remains intimate, atmospheric, and endlessly listenable.

70
Paste

At times too general to hold meaning, at times seeming too specific to discern without a push in the right direction, and most of all so weightless that effort of any sort seems to be directly in contrast to the sleepy-eyed, bed-headed sweatpants morning that the songs seem written for.

70
No Ripcord

Blissfully addictive and dangerously catchy, Heza is most certainly one for the more bright and breezy of us this summer.

70
Consequence of Sound

With this collection of simple, endlessly enjoyable indie pop, Heza and Generationals make the statement against giving up and remaining stagnant. 

70
Under the Radar

With Herza, Generationals has perfected its a-little-bit-of-everything pop.

64
Pitchfork

They're still a competent, talented, charming band instead of a truly memorable one.

50
The 405

With the release of their latest album Heza the band are quietly slipping towards the boring.
