  1. 8.0 |   Q

    A beguiling soundtrack for altered states of mind. Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Somehow, by taking these backwards steps, Peaking Lights have, rather bizarrely, flown forwards, proving in the process that, when handled correctly, nostalgia can be a fine tool

  3. 7.6 |   Pitchfork

    Peaking Lights’ dreamy mix of dub, new wave, and disco is emboldened by Indra Dunis’ simple, repetitive verses

  4. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    Peaking Lights continue to advance their sound by blurring genre lines and this time found a winning combination of hypnotic reggae beats, airy synths, and semi R&B grooves

  5. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Its languorous, tripy/hippy cocktail is refreshingly unique. Print edition only

  6. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

  7. 6.0 |   Loud And Quiet

  8. 5.0 |   Clash

    Showing stamina is nothing new for Peaking Lights, but this is a very long album akin to a sauna stay that becomes too hot
