  1. 8.5 |   The Quietus

    There's bits of it that will make your head feel like it could well be imploding, but those moments are pretty fleeting as you peer into the centre of the songs to peel back the layers

  2. 8.0 |   Clash

    More than just the sum of its influences, ‘Extra Wow’ lives up to its title. Very very nice nice
