  2. 9.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Future Teenage Cave Artists is the kind of album that only a band like this can pull off. Managing to be both a continuation of and a departure from the lo-fi trajectory of Mountain Moves and The Magic, the sounds here are more polished and refined

  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    As irresistibly loopy and buoyantly Beefheartian as anything in Deerhoof's formidable back catalogue. Print edition only

  10. 6.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    These are dark and unspeakable times, and it feels comforting to have a band so consistent serve up great, weird noise-pop as a way to make the darkness feel less uncertain

  11. 6.0 |   NME

    The racket merchants have carved a niche for over two decades, and there's much to excavate here, from psych-rock to jazzy minimalism
