  1. 8.1 |   Paste Magazine

    Miami shows an inventive collective in the act of reinvention, their recorded output transitioning from concepts to compositions to living breathing body-moving songs

  2. 8.0 |   All Music

    A thrilling orchestra-hall-meets-club synthesis from a trio that draws from Mahler, Reich, Mills, and Hood as if they're all part of the same lineage

  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Even at its slowest, everything on Miami seems to have a rhythmic purpose. The speed of your nodding along will peak and trough, but never completely peter out
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Miami's best tracks remain (twisted) dancefloor friendly. Print edition only

  5. 7.8 |   Pitchfork

    Undeniably a challenging listen. Break through its forbidding surface, though, and the rewards can be considerable

  6. 7.5 |   The 405

    Loosening a little the self-imposed restraint of their previous work, and injecting some psych dottiness into their arch, progressive neo-classical dance

  7. 7.0 |   DIY

    Miami is a record that is hard to get a handle on at times, but it is all the more resonant for it when you eventually fall under its spell

  8. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Somewhere out there a film about a decomposing city is being made, and the strong soundtrack already exists
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   Q

    It's the music's fiendish complexity and flashes of sublime harmony that captivate. Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    Sometimes overbearing, but never short of ideas, it's an intriguing record
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    Miami frustrates and falls well short in terms of capturing hearts as readily as it will minds
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    BBF’s intensely detailed patterns have energetically welded together jazz, classical and techno
    Read Review

  13. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Unquestionably a force to be reckoned with, yet they seem unsure exactly what direction to take: whether to continue to interpret dance music using classical apparatus, or to move down a darker, more avant garde route
