Reviews

Staking their claim to be the best band of their generation.

'Sugar Rush' captures a young band at precisely the point where enthusiasm, confidence and a lot of gigging have started feeding into each other. It's messy, urgent and ridiculously alive.
Words: Harry Shaw
‘PREMATURE NOSTALGIA’ throws a lot at you, and nearly all of it works. Green has made grief, longing and overthinking tremendous fun. It's easily one of the month's best.
Words: Felicity Newton
Love is unexpectedly sympathetic over the dark synths of 'Call It What You Want', and he's an engaging presence when he eases off.
Words: Dan Harrison
Closer 'I Wish' is, as is tradition on her albums, a lullaby to her younger self, on which she reflects on pulling through a hard time alone.
Words: Minty Slater Mearns
And, well, that's basically it.
Words: Harry Shaw
Very good work. Gold star. Well done, SOFY.
