  1. 9.0 |   Clash

    So, world, enjoy. There’s so much good to Let’s Wrestle, such a great deal of dumb-smile glee conveyed with this album, that it’s a perfect pick-me-up for any occasion. It’s Buzzcocks-goes-Daniel Johnston, with a little Guided By Voices on the side, erudite and desperate, and everything mentioned above and yet a lot, lot mor

  2. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    If their first full-length has taken the art and craft of the three-minute guitar-pop song as demonstrated, then is the only way up? It'd be a saddening thought to think that Let's Wrestle have peaked already

  3. 8.0 |   Bowlegs

    Often a joy to listen to, there is a great pop sensibility which runs throughout the whole album. The melodies are in safe hands; all you have to do is enjoy

One that's prone to clubbing early Buzzcocks and Daniel Johnston over the head with singer Wesley Patrick Gonzalez's deadpan vocals and daft songs about men with Princess Diana haircuts; before escaping down the street like a drunken Napoleon Dynamite

  8. 6.0 |   Eye Weekly

    They write indescribably hummable tunes

  9. 6.0 |   Blurt

    As clumsy as youth, as charming and graceless and ingratiating as half-grown boys can be, this is the kind of album you can only do once

  10. 6.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  11. 6.0 |   The Fly

    Gloriously off kilter and raggedly romantic Jonathan Richman-esque offerings
