  1. 9.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    All of the hallmarks of the band’s debut remain blissfully intact, and yet they’ve managed to engineer an LP with even more seemingly absurd outliers than minimalism and Radiophonic blips

  2. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Pinkshinyultrablast isn’t so much offering something new to or pushing shoegaze anywhere it hasn’t already been. They are flat out transcending it, offering a sound all their own that is frighteningly powerful and overwhelmingly beautiful

  3. 8.0 |   The List

    A breath – make that a blast – of fresh air

  4. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Ambitious in the way it redefines traditional song structures while reaffirming Pinkshinyultrablast as their chosen genre's - be it by association or otherwise - most adventurous troupe

  5. 8.0 |   All Music

    Grandfeathered shows them looking outward while successfully building upon their already impressive sound

  6. 8.0 |   Q

    The overall effect is Grimes meets Cocteau Twins in downtown Petrograd. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    A welcome addition to this pretty special outfit’s small but perfectly formed canon

  8. 8.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    Pinkshinyultrablast has a silly name, but it’s as completely accurate as its self-described thunder pop kung-fu gaze

  9. 8.0 |   Beardfood

    The shoegaze removes any plans of a lush soundscape, adding texture and grain to the vibrant landscape

  10. 8.0 |   Gig Soup

    The band manages to pay homage to pioneers like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive without being a tribute act,;they bring a distinct twist to an already great sound

  11. 7.0 |   Uncut

    No great progression from last year's Everything Else Matters, but there is genre-defying richness and depth to [the] tunes. Print edition only

  12. 7.0 |   Clash

    Brash and bold, its juxtaposition of fragile synth lines and uncompromising slabs of aggression make for a compelling, if not occasionally familiar, listen

  13. 6.5 |   Pitchfork

    Grandfeathered is impressive, but the first impression tends to be the only one it makes

  14. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    With 'Grandfeathered', Pinkshinyultrablast stake their claim as masters of their preferred domain
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   DIY

    As impressively considered as the group are, they evoke a cold feeling of invulnerability that’s hard to avoid
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Grandfeathered sounds like a band urgent and desperate to cram all of their new ideas into eight tracks, which can make for a difficult listen
