“They make a peculiar brand of existential folk poetry, one that combines singer-guitarist Isaac Brock’s desperately uneasy vocals with off-kilter arrangements, creating something strangely catchy…On the group’s fourth proper album, a mightier Mouse refine their weirdness and become a pop band while grasping at dark truths that pop ordinarily denies…Brock now writes and sings more melodically, a little less Pixies, a bit more Talking Heads.” – Rolling Stone
