  1. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    A genuine and refreshing sense of unpredictability, of flying by the seat of their pants, of sheer noisy anarchic exuberance that they bring to their music-making, as found in the genuine post-punk innovators from the late 1970s

  2. 8.0 |   The Sunday Times

    Tumbling, tribal, sing-speak vocals wrap around 17 joyously nimble tracks, most less than 90 seconds long

  3. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    Trash Kit curtail their songs to almost-snippets and ornamentation is minimal – although a scrawl of violin on 'Tattoo' and guest sax from Verity Susman indicate there could have been more – but you would have to be pretty obtuse to hear Trash Kit as reductionist or limited

  9. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    There are clear influences here, yet Trash Kit mostly use them as hastily assembled foundations for their precarious mash of sounds, drawing from the same pot of ideas as many late-70s post-punk all-girl acts — stripped-back, off-kilter, and upbeat

  11. 4.0 |   Culture Deluxe

    Constantly you are taken to the brink of a brilliant tune only to be brought back down again as a crash of drums thoughtlessly introduces the next fifty second idea
