  1. 8.0 |   DIY

    Great care has been given to the making of this album; at some points, you’re wondering how it’s possible this is a debut album, with all the edges polished while still maintaining a rusticness and ease without pretension

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Antipodean folkies eye the big time, Fleet Foxes-style. Print edition only

  3. 7.5 |   Bowlegs

    Each track here is crafted with an enviable dedication, you can almost hear the passion rolling on the tape among the wooden instruments. Sub Pop seemed to have unearthed another gem and we are all ears

  4. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    The foursome’s dedication to songcraft and atmospherics resound through the record, qualities that should mark them as a group worthy of being the wheat among the chaff

  5. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A debut referential in the extreme but with an occasional knack for shining loveliness

  6. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    Although Forever So has some exceptional moments, they merely serve as a bitter reminder of Husky’s potential to create something more than just a collection of pleasant sounds

  7. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Husky’s best songs are carefully paced and uncomplicated; when they attempt to aim for cod-psychedelia they produce some turgid tunes

  8. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    There are plenty of positives to be found on Forever So, namely Husky’s agile and emotional vocals, but a little consistency would have made for a slightly less flabby album

  9. 6.0 |   Pitchfork

    Husky's tempos tend toward the deliberate, and they're most comfortable hanging out in a minor key, but after nine or 10 fairly maudlin affairs in a row, you may find yourself longing for a little respite

  10. 5.0 |   Spin

    Aussies recall Sub Pop's mid-'00s heyday, combine the soft-centered, wind-blown folk of Fleet Foxes with Rogue Wave

  11. 4.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Should just go the route of talented session players and backing bands; artists with plenty to play, but not much to say
