  1. 8.0 |   NME

    The first, stuttering, druggy and angsty; the second, the sound of melancholy turned sweet and life made better

  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Obsessives yearning to own this as a physical product for years will not be disappointed, but Broken Social Scene fans as yet unacquainted with KC Accidental should also investigate this; give it a few listens to let it all sink in, and you'll be hooked

  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    There are pointers towards what was to come in BSS, but this atmospheric music stands tall on its own merits. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   NME

    String-heavy, melody-driven, (mainly) instrumental experimentation

  8. 7.0 |   BBC

    Next to what would come, this is baby steps. But there’s an airiness and invention to these tracks that merits investigation by fans and the curious alike
