  1. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Their songs are never bland genre studies or tedious pastiches. The pair maintain a hushed reverence for their musical influences and treat them with their own subdued personalities

  2. 8.0 |   BBC

    There will be a great deal you'll have heard parading in records from a once-golden era... but the humour, the brevity and the joy with which it's bundled ensures a quality listen throughout.

  3. 8.0 |   NME

    This album is delicate and beautiful, continuing in both bands’ fine tradition of meticulously assembled albums

  4. 7.0 |   DIY

    Hyde & Beast's psychedelia doesn't derive from weird electronics, as is often the case these days, but from the conscious manipulation of traditional rock and roll instruments and their own studio know-how

  5. 6.0 |   Q

    Evokes The Velvet Underground's more whimsical side. Print edition only

  6. 6.0 |   Uncut

    A ramshackle, bucolic psychedelic album sounds like a lost Beatles and Bolan session. Print edition only

  7. 5.0 |   Bowlegs

    While this is a perfectly pleasant album, it’s got the feel of a vanity project
