  1. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Let's hope there’s more of these exhausted hymns to come before they disappear forever

    The sophomore album we all expected from them
    Read Review

  3. 7.5 |   Beats Per Minute

    The sophomoric naiveté that defined Let’s Wrestle begins to give way to the inevitable turn of the calendar
    Read Review

  4. 7.0 |   Clash

    If second albums are meant to be difficult, then Let’s Wrestle have risen to the challenge well enough
    Read Review

  5. 7.0 |   The Fly

    Let’s Wrestle are an unearthed British treasure
    Read Review

  6. 7.0 |   BBC

    Undeniably impressive, but it leaves you with the ineffable impression that the best of Wes Gonzalez is yet to come
    Read Review

  7. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    Let's Wrestle might feel like they're morbidly allergic to success, but a broader audience seems inevitable, as this is too rife with killer hooks to escape that fate

    Impressive
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    In the running for most childish record by grown men of 2011
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

    A confident enough follow-up, cranking up the sunny, carefree indie-rock of its predecessor
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   AU Review

    A bratty and hyperactive collection
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   NME

    It’s all strung together with punk-drunk pace and some properly good melodies. This is the real deal
    Read Review

  13. 6.7 |   Pitchfork

    For the most part, you get a snapshot of irresponsible young dudes not giving a fuck
    Read Review

  14. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    Too many tracks feel like filler. Notable for its lyrical successes, but doesn’t have enough memorable songs to highlight them
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Crunchier and louder than their thrillingly prosaic 2009 debut. Print edition only

  16. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    There’s still a lot of fun to be had at this Nursing Home but it’s pretty clear that the party is winding down
    Read Review

  17. 5.0 |   Blurt

    12 songs in just over 30 minutes. It recalls the heyday of the Wedding Present, with a little bit of Nothing Painted Blue mixed in
    Read Review

  18. 3.5 |   Prefix

    Doesn’t have much to offer beyond twelve homogenous sounding songs about self-pity and boredom

Hovvdy  Hovvdy

The Austin duo’s hushed and unassuming double album is a capstone to their career so far, a scrapbook of moments of love and loss from a life well-lived Pitchfork

Hovvdy  Hovvdy

The pair have fully blossomed from their early DIY start, showcasing an incredible range of indie pop craftsmanship and a grounded centredness built on empathy and understanding Exclaim

Hovvdy  Hovvdy

If at times you crave for something unhinged across these 19 songs, the sonic equivalent of a psychic break to disrupt the constant temperate mood, you inevitably fall back on Martin and Taylor’s fluid warmth. Their transition into scarred adult terrain still sounds remarkably peaceful Under The Radar
