  1. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Intricate enough for the die-hards to get lost in, but immediate enough to bend some ears on Xfm’s clogged airwave

  2. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Their debut masters the ache of post-party loneliness with bombastic bass, creating something that's both hedonistic and haunting
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Clash

    Their secret to succeeding where their peers have sometimes faltered seems to be that eternally devious musical dark art: just write great songs

  4. 8.0 |   DIY

    Honest, diary-like proclamations that turn a robotic record into something tangible
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   The 405

    Their debut's diversity is its greatest strength - it's enough to highlight the best qualities of a multi-faceted band, but is never disjointed

  6. 8.0 |   Time Out

    If they can keep this up, then it's only a matter of time before they're one of the country's most important bands

  9. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    Outfit are clearly a decent band with good ideas who deserve a future, but they’ll need a much stronger record than this if they’re to stick around

  10. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Outfit are at their best when they juggle their penchant for warm hooks and twitchy electronica with more experimental soundings
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    This is a debut packed with resourceful ideas, textural intrigue and compelling rhythms, which ultimately falls short only from a sense of unfulfilled potential and a lack of consistent execution
