  1. 8.0 |   Clash

    A debut album as accomplished and hit-laden as this makes it hard to see the band faltering
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Where The Heaven Are We ably showcases their innate knack for massive hooks – it’s a rock-solid debut with something for everyone
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Q

    They're providing indie-pop with a much needed splash of colour. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   DIY

    Swim Deep have written a youthful, entertaining debut that it’s hard to find fault with, and they graduate from B-Town with a first class degree

  5. 7.5 |   The 405

    Swim Deep are releasing the nostalgic, romantic, irritatingly catchy album they've always been capable of
    Read Review

  6. 7.0 |   Uncut

    They display an exuberant charm that's thrashy and infectious. Print edition only

  7. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    Isn’t a perfect debut album, it’s a solid effort, and there’s enough talent on display to hint at even better things to come
    Read Review

  8. 7.0 |   The Fly

    Although it doesn’t always hit the mark, Swim Deep’s debut proves more than capable of matching to the dizzying highs they write about
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    A solid debut, and one that is a very pleasant listen
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Squished into its 11-track-frame are a handful of songs that flatter the talents of anyone who’s young, bored and itching for adoration
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    A pleasant wander through the byways of early-90s indie styles that doesn't ever really assert itself terribly strongly
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Swim Deep sound great, but they also sound too like too many other acts right now for comfort. Once you stop playing spot-the-band with their songs, something truly great will emerge
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   Time Out

    It would be blissful if it wasn’t so unrelenting: however great the songs are on their own, together they're just a bit too too sweet and sunny
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Faintly baggy, dreamy synth-pop. Print edition only

  15. 6.0 |   NME

    If Swim Deep truly want to become a fixed point of reference for future generations, they’ll need to work harder to transcend their own inspirations
    Read Review

  16. 4.0 |   The Observer

    Their debut opens impressively... too much of the rest of their material sounds like utterly unremarkable filler
    Read Review

  17. 3.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Four gap-year computer science students from Birmingham with early nineties Charlatans haircuts and a working knowledge of Cast b-sides might be good enough for you, but alas it’s nowhere near good enough for me
