  1. 9.0 |   musicOMH

    Feels like a train that has been diverted off down a strange and enchanting branch line by mistake...taking in some magical scenery that might have come from the imagination of Tim Burton

    They've created a world far beyond their monochrome-tinged performances

  4. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Creatures of an Hour unveils its dramas and beauty with slow, stately elegance and panache, like scenes from a smokey black-and-white French New Wave flick

  5. 8.0 |   Clash

    This is a fine debut album. Tessa Murray's voice is gorgeously fragile and the backdrop will lift you out of encroaching grim winter evenings

  6. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Several changes in personnel, notably the addition of Tessa Murray on vocals, have brought a new found depth and austerity omnipresent across all of Creatures Of An Hour's ten delightful tracks

  7. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    The album flows from start to finish, from the old and through the new. It may feel a bit slow-burning at times for some but given the time, it all pieces together

  8. 7.7 |   Beats Per Minute

    Moments of murky brilliance are peppered throughout, artfully blending half-remembered music-box melodies from a forgotten age which have decayed and distorted over time

  9. 7.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Delicate but far from twee, it opearates with the stealth of a panther in shadow
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   BBC

    Uncomplicated, subtle but memorable songwriting that might well have been played and recorded in a bedroom studio on Holloway Road
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    This delicate, atmospheric music is an intriguing take on the dream pop canon; sparse and elegantly vexing, it's a fitting record to accompany the shortening days

  12. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

    This is a debut of atmospheric beauty that could be the start of something very special
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   AU Review

    A woozy concoction of hypnotic flickers and off-kilter squalls
    Read Review

  14. 6.5 |   Pitchfork

    Creatures of an Hour is top-heavy: the early-sequenced "Cuckoo" and "Endless Summer" are the record's incontestable highlights

  15. 6.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    Still Corners prove that they can progress beyond this ubiquitous predilection for visual evocation
