    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Heroically diverse pop. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    The Leisure Society could musically speaking easily pass off as a UK equivalent of Sufjan Stevens around Illinoise

  4. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    It may sound depressing or maudlin, but in its own understated way, it becomes rather lovely

  5. 7.0 |   All Music

    As they navigate these darker emotional waters, it's hard not to wonder what Hemming and his crew would sound like if they loosened their collars just a bit

  6. 7.0 |   God Is In The TV

    It’s a nocturnal animal of an album and it waits patiently, like all the best cunning predators, to trap its prey with no hope of escape. Impressive stuff

  7. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Another capably written set, but turns its back on the band’s pared-down folk roots in favour of baroque-pop arrangements

  8. 6.0 |   Q

    His lavish arrangements are packed with ideas. Print edition only
