  1. 8.0 |   DIY

    Their deep sea dive of a debut gradually evolves into a rich and colourful source of escape, like a coral reef excavation with the occasionally grizzly-toothed white shark thrown in for good measure

  2. 7.0 |   All Music

    Glowing pop tunes

  3. 7.0 |   Uncut

    The bandwidth is densely layered to bursting with blissed-out sampling but the rapture makes it churlish to complain. Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    It could be said that Forever might benefit from fewer layers of production, but its maze of sounds is part of its charm and what keeps it interesting

  5. 6.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A bit of “less is more” might serve them well in the long run, but it would require leaving a few of their conflicting, toe-tapping hooks on the shelf

  6. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    An act whose mantra might as well be to 'write music that'll make you smile'

  7. 6.0 |   No Ripcord

    They have got some pretty nice tunes that stick in the head, and if you’re going to be overtly influenced by anyone then I guess The Beach Boys (and their more recent followers) are not such a bad proposition

  8. 5.7 |   Pitchfork

    Spend too much time in these all-too-pleasant surroundings, and you can't help but feel like you've been there before
