  3. 8.0 |   NME

    The Brisbane electro-poppers' second album is more emotionally rounded than its predecessor, but they remain ridiculous in all the right places

  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    The cathartic release is absolutely joyous on this stylish party album, a heaping dose of maximalist escapism from a quartet that just wants you to dance your cares away

  5. 8.0 |   Dork

  9. 8.0 |   Spectrum Culture

  11. 7.5 |   Under The Radar

  14. 7.0 |   Uncut

    The piano house pop of “Woman” and synth-fuelled trance of “Holiday” could have been released in 1992, but they’re no less likeable for it. Print edition only

  15. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Australia’s mystery-goof quartet Confidence Man unleashed a supremely confident debut in 2018, but after years of waiting, they’re finally back with a ’90s sheen on TILT
