    On their way to becoming the White Stripes in reverse.

  3. 8.0 |   Pitchfork

    Have absorbed a huge range of musical resources-- from American primitive to jazz to Björkesque experimentalism and even Mongolian throat singing-- and mined them carefully before whittling down the essentials and fashioning 10 beautifully imaginative, contemplative songs.

  4. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    What it all means is anyone's guess, but listen closely and you can hear them throwing in Motown keyboards, steel drums, xylophones and presumably a job lot of kitchen sinks.

  5. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Negotiating The Snake for the first time is a journey riddled with surprise. Each time you dip in, you seem to come out with an even bigger handful of sweetness.

  6. 7.0 |   NME

    Everything from kalimbas to autoharps and steel drums drag the W&P sound into territories unknown. And when the guzheng starts up, it all kicks off.

  7. 6.0 |   Observer Music Monthly

    Not everything works... but this album is more focused and honed than last year's folkier debut.
