    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   The 405

  4. 7.4 |   Pitchfork

    Should I Remain at Sea? has the feel of friends blowing off steam the only way they know how, after working so hard on something outside of their comfort zone

  5. 7.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    Balances its tendencies to be smart, sad and bent on having a good time in the space of a single breath

  6. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Far from feeling stripped down and intentionally analog as a statement, the sound remains as polished as any other Islands release

  9. 6.5 |   Beardfood

    Where ‘Taste’ presents as an album fully formed, this feels like an exaggerated EP, possibly an after-thought

  11. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    If a casual fan had to choose one album or the other Should I Remain… is the no-brainer
