  1. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    It’s a testament to their ingenious crafting of familiar sounds that we hear the musical reference points in each of these songs without feeling cheated by the fact that we can pinpoint precisely who they sound like at any given moment

  2. 8.0 |   All Music

    Nude Beach aren't starting a revolution with II, but its well-crafted songs and raw-edged execution are just too damn joy-inspiring to deny

    What Nude Beach have on their side is songwriting ability and an unshakeable work ethic

  4. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    The sweat-sodden Brooklyn trio are broken and weary, but high on life and in no hurry to be put back together. Dammit, they’re exciting

  5. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

  7. 6.0 |   Blurt

    I'm confident that Nude Beach is on its way and if they keep cranking out material like this, they should quickly make a name for themselves not unlike fellow Brooklynites The Strokes and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
