  1. 7.0 |   DIY

    This is eccentric indie pop with a slightly off-kilt flavour, and with such potential for mass-popularity, expect Zulu Winter to become the ones to catch this festival season

  2. 7.0 |   BBC

    Language is a sturdy and well-produced collection which, given the right exposure, sounds like the sort of thing that could be very large indeed

  3. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Zulu Winter masterfully juxtapose adventurous and sexualized production with [mostly] touching, sorrowful songs. In other words, it’s something you can dance to in public and reflect on in private

  4. 6.5 |   The AU Review

    While they still may be searching for a defining sound that in some years, another band will be calling on for influences, this is still an endearing start

  5. 6.0 |   Q

    The melancholic croon of frontman Will Daunt, give these ever-so-now songs and old-world charm. Print edition only

  6. 6.0 |   NME

    A few strokes of fortune might send this London quintet towards stratospheric hugeness

  7. 6.0 |   A.V. Club

    The band’s swelling synthpads skirt Afrobeat just as well as any other band jostling for a foothold in an already overcrowded niche

  8. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Displays a talent that goes beyond just copying and pasting musical memes of old
    Read Review

  9. 5.0 |   Spin

    The so-called "new Vaccines" take more from Foals, offer jittery debut of dance-rock mush meant for big rooms
    Read Review

  10. 5.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    A pleasant album, but one of a band failing to reach out and make their own identifiable mark

  11. 4.9 |   Pitchfork

    Whilst homogeneity will undoubtedly serve them well enough, there are tantalizing signs here of a more innovative future
