  1. 8.0 |   Culture Deluxe

    An album of importance for space cadets, explorers and the urban adventurer hipster in all of us
    Read Review

  2. 7.5 |   Bowlegs

    There’s a lot to inspire here and the band’s rousing soundscapes and Cicero’s sweeping lyrics treat the listener to a sonic journey with real depth

  3. 7.5 |   Prefix

    A set of compelling tunes that sound surprisingly distinct despite the past and present musical inspirations that could’ve just as easily overwhelmed it

  4. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Light Pollution have bitten off just enough shoegaze and chillwave to make their debut pleasantly satisfying

  5. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Light Pollution are experts at crafting modern psych-pop songs. Next time around, they just need to figure out the difference between experimentation and emulation

  6. 6.0 |   Under The Radar

    An ambitious and satisfying debut
    Read Review

  7. 6.0 |   NME

    In the mould of the greats rather than carving a new sound
    Read Review

  8. 5.4 |   Pitchfork

  9. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    There’s little to call individual here, which gives Apparitions a sense of numbness; the most they do is to drape a kind of wispy dream-pop sheen over proceedings

  10. 5.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    While Light Pollution manage to weave their collection of influences into a sonic garment that can be breathtaking, they never seem to occupy it with real flesh and blood
