  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Their musical blueprint is a bit R.E.M., a bit more Midlake. Print edition only

    An excellent listen

  4. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    Horse Thief are a different beast to either Fleet Foxes or Grizzly Bear, granted, but they’re in the same ballpark in terms of quality. A better comparison would be Beach House

  7. 7.0 |   Clash

    ‘Fear In Bliss’ is as catchy as a cold... it’s just irresistible and should proudly sit alongside the successes of their Bella Union labelmates
