  2. 9.0 |   Gig Soup

    This is an impressively accomplished debut - a rabbit hole you’ll want to fall down again and again
    Read Review

  3. 9.0 |   Clash

    That a record so dark and ripe with nuance can also harbour such blatant pop sensibility belies the duo’s young age while serving as a testament to their rampant eccentricities

  4. 8.5 |   The Quietus

    This is so feel-good it should be made available on prescription

  5. 8.0 |   The Independent

    There’s a sense of joy and wonder, too, in a track like “Sax In The City”, with its galumphing drums and flatulent, honking saxophone underscoring their demand to “tell me something interesting”

  12. 7.0 |   Spin

    Never invincible, but never predictable
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   All Music

    A bright future beckons
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    I, Gemini is an exorcism of youth, pointing at grandma’s history and consuming it, an echo of pop’s past and an ahistorical shriek of arrival
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   The Music

    Ethereal, at times haunting gothic pop
