  1. 8.0 |   The Scotsman

    An endlessly likeable pile of slacker rock
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   All Music

    Delivers all of the brilliant power pop worship that we've all come to love from JEFF the Brotherhood, and if the album isn't able to kick off your summer, nothing will

  3. 8.0 |   Art Rocker

    They have the power yet to keep rock fans happy

  4. 7.0 |   Blurt

    The production may be a little cleaner, but the same knack for great fuzzed-out ditties is still there

  5. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    A little more stoner-y than last year’s speed-crazed We Are the Champions, and it’s got a good-natured sense of slacker irony

  6. 7.0 |   Pitchfork

    Their version of celebration rock
    Read Review

  7. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Though it was the title of their last record, it seems more appropriate to definitively say here that JEFF The Brotherhood are, indeed, the champions

  9. 6.7 |   The AU Review

    There are three or four standout tracks on this record, and I'm finding it hard to think of a situation where I would put this record on in its entirety

  10. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    Even at just 10 songs Nights feels repetitive and even leaden at times
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    The guitars are set to buzz, the drums bang, and the odd squiggle of synthesiser offers a dab of colour

  12. 6.0 |   NME

    Giddy garage rock
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Dan Auerbach produces the Nashville duo's major-label debut with mixed results. Print edition only

Floating Points  Cascade

In Cascade, Floating Points reclaims the dancefloor while elevating the genre beyond its traditional boundaries Northern Transmissions

Porches  Shirt

A departure from the easy listening that fans love, and challenges listeners in a more confrontational urgency and intensity Northern Transmissions
