  1. 10.0 |   Gig Soup

    Ellery and Ebony have created their own world for us to step into, familiar in some regards, but excitingly new in many more

  2. 9.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Once more, Ellery James Roberts finds himself with a unique project that may well burn so intense that there are no corners left to light

  3. 9.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A beautiful and graceful behemoth
    Read Review

  4. 8.5 |   The 405

    An absolutely bat-shit crazy attempt at pop music
    Read Review

  5. 8.3 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The songs could easily crumble under their own weight, but don’t due to the duo’s sharp conviction in the anthems they put forth

  6. 8.3 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    A beautiful album filled with bombastic, gothic and anthemic hymns that aim for deliverance
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    There’s a thread of fevered, vaguely political idealism that runs through the album

  8. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

    Spiritual Songs may be an emotionally tiring listen, but in 2016, it's unrivaled in conviction and sonic release

  9. 7.8 |   Pitchfork

    Their debut is a vast, swaggering colossus
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    It’s a confident and occasionally confrontational record, though; one that some will undoubtedly accuse of conceitedness or taking itself too seriously

  11. 7.0 |   Beardfood

    Such a disquieting mix makes for an incoherent listen, ripe for cherry picking
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   Crack

    This is a stirring first effort from a band that’ll hopefully outlive Roberts’ last
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   DIY

    Despite complexities, the heart of LUH’s debut is touchingly simple - two people standing up against the world

  14. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Wading through so much posturing becomes a slog. Print edition only

  15. 4.0 |   The Irish Times

    Less spiritual depth, more shallow subterfuge
