"aggrieved and volatile indie rock,"
"ravishing electronic/indie explosion,"
“clattering rhythm,”
“gracious vocals that give it a dignified poppy bounce,”
“thoughtful, piquant and sedate,”
“precise and imaginative layering,”
“a waddling, flattened beast of a tune that ends too quickly,”
“a gorgeous romp that cuts off smartly with a neat synth wash,”
“the vocals dominate as it crunches and sways,”
“ a fulsome, fluttering sound massage coming your way,”
“Goth Pop with a fizzy sneer, which you'll love with its spindly, agitated guitar and solemn, disguised chorus,”
