  1. 9.0 |   Prefix

    Subiza is the culmination of a years-long growing process in which Delorean was able to synthesize its influences into a sound all its own. It isn’t flawless, but it could be this year’s most perfect summertime album

  2. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A coherent, encapsulating and original dance album. Packed full of anthems from start to finish, it never delves into self-indulgent or unoriginal territory

    Call it what you want. Delorean just make beautiful, modern pop music

  4. 8.2 |   Beats Per Minute

    While it doesn’t offer the most diverse material, Subiza may be the most damn fun an album will offer this year

  6. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    There may be little reinvention of the wheel going on here, but tracks such as Stay Close and Simple Graces leave you wanting much more. A splendid soundtrack for a night on the town

  7. 8.0 |   State

    There are no real standout tacks on Subiza, just a cohesive, forty-odd minute rave. It flows like a really good DJ set, one song blending into another so the fun never seems to stop

  8. 8.0 |   State

    This is music to shut out the world to. Leave all your worries at the door and have a good time, Delorean are here to help

  9. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It seems disingenuous to fault an album for not being the masterpiece hoped for, but Subiza is still resoundingly strong and a likely staple of many a summer jam to come

  10. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    They fall into the camp that take the past and refresh rather than resuscitate- with frequently joyous results. Subiza exists as both an album from the past and one for the now, a phantasmagorical uncoupling from reality

  11. 8.0 |   The Sunday Times

    On songs such as Grow, Real Love and Infinite Desert, Delorean fashion, from often rudimentary Balearic, synth-pop, hip-hop and Italian-house staples, something both ephemeral and profound

  12. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    A contender for the feel-good album of the summer

  13. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    The tracks may bleed into each other, and at times you wonder if the trance-like repetition is necessary, but if you need some instant satisfaction then Delorean will not disappoint

  14. 7.0 |   NME

    Are elevated above their base genre by the general air of Animal Collective-gone-raving-down-Pacha

  15. 7.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    With any luck, this'll be the soundtrack to the summer
    Read Review

  16. 6.5 |   Bowlegs

    Keeping the beats fat, the piano chords euphoric and the tone uplifting is at the forefront of the album’s nature
