  1. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    It’s the sparseness of the arrangements and the warmth of Larrabee’s voice which will initially snare you

  2. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The band is at their most stunning when they strip their already-spare sound down even further
    Read Review

  3. 7.0 |   NME

    Imposingly atmospheric. Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   DIY

    While ‘Dig On’ fails to raise the heart rate enough, the stark and powerful tension that the record captures is captivating

  5. 6.0 |   Clash

    Occupying a lo-fi rock and roll ground somewhere between early PJ Harvey and a Cat Power-fronted White Stripes

  6. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Proof that although She Keep Bees can occasionally excel within a blues-rock straitjacket, they are a more intriguing proposition when exploring potential new musical avenues

  8. 6.0 |   BBC

  9. 6.0 |   Q

    These blues are still more Detroit than Delta. Print edition only

  10. 4.0 |   Bowlegs

    They fail to bring anything new to the table over the course of the record’s twelve tracks – and the occasional glimpses of promise are all too often sent crashing to the side-lines with a flailing set of drums and guitars

  11. 4.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Doesn't journey far enough into the heart of darkness to beguile or intrigue
