  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    Our Brand Could Be Yr Life may not be the group's most exciting album (Endless Scroll) or their most immediate (Broken Equipment likely gets that nod), but it is the one fans are likely to go back to more often as it provides the richest, best-sounding release they've had so far

Unsubtle but often archly funny, this commentary goes down easier thanks to a melodically complex tunefulness that consistently serve up gems. Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   The Observer

    The New York indie-rockers retool early work into an eclectic set of musings on porn, Tarkovsky and filthy lucre
