  2. 9.0 |   Far Out

    One of the album’s biggest feats is its spatial awareness, its internal geopolitics

  3. 9.0 |   Exclaim

    Mandy, Indiana have crafted the first great album of 2026, one that rewards with each exhausting listen. In a time of crisis and uncertainty, URGH is not merely cathartic: it's exorcistic

  4. 8.8 |   Northern Transmissions

    URGH is messy in the way real emotion is messy, but it’s also carefully engineered. There is oddly some comfort in the record's sharp edges, a comfort in having Mandy, Indiana put our collective rage into a soundtrack

  9. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    URGH exists in its own lane, moving steadily, unconcerned with who’s alongside it or who’s fallen behind. There is no climax. The music simply stops dead, like someone cut the power mid-thought

  10. 8.0 |   Clash

    It’s also chaotic and messy, but also catchy. This is not an album, or band, to sleep on in 2026

  12. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    Call it what you want, but in the hands of Mandy, Indiana words like ‘genre’ and ‘style’ feel utterly redundant. And sometimes, when the mood strikes, we all need a bit of unclassifiable dissonance in our lives
