  1. 9.0 |   No Ripcord

    Its slacker-ridden fuzzed out tone is one of the perfect sounds of 2013
    Read Review

  2. 9.0 |   Uncut

    It's the quintet's talent for sneaking in moments of surprising prettiness that makes their seventh record such a charmer. Print edition only

  3. 8.9 |   Paste Magazine

    Something about Thee Oh Sees always sighs warm air. This album does that, too, but with hurriedly-spiked punch heavy on its breath

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Manna for the faithful, but also an excellent point for newbies to get onboard. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   NME

    Demonstrates a band in charge of its own weird, fuzzy destiny
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   Pitchfork

    What's behind the strawberries on the album's cover? A murderous gaze. What's behind the earworm hooks and vamp-filled rock'n'roll? Lyrics about splattered blood and dead children

  7. 7.0 |   All Music

    Floating Coffin will stand as a successful foray into the world of straight-ahead, heavy-rocking, non-weird alternative indie rock
    Read Review

  8. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Thee Oh Sees are incapable of recording an unlikeable album, and Floating Coffin’s warmed garage slashers will satisfy a noise-addled listener
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Thee Oh Sees, in short, remind us that garage rock – or lo-fi or psych-pop or whatever other name you pin on them – will inevitably fall short in describing the music

Latest Reviews

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
