  2. 8.0 |   Q

    A decidedly loveable record. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Dark, delicious humour and true heartbreak. Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    The Prettiots will no doubt be described as cutesy indie-pop, but there’s a serious strain of nihilism, anxiety and realism within their songs, even the jokey ones

  5. 7.0 |   The Music

    The Prettiots only have one lesson to teach - that we all need to get our heads out of our asses and embrace that fun really is cool

You don’t need to know exactly what she’s saying to know that it means everything Loud And Quiet

Claire Rousay  Sentiment

A record that is quietly powerful in its delicate yet emotional execution. Print edition only Uncut
