Exclaim
Her intoxicating weirdness, with a combination of deadpan and mantra-like vocals, surprising samples, and clever and infectious lyrics, creates a landscape that blends together beautifully without ever feeling homogenous or redundant

Drowned In Sound
Moolchan cranks down the tempo for a decisively more urban flair that draws from the streets of Lisbon, Atlanta, and London in equal measure. And somehow, even with all this new swag, our sneaky protagonist loses none of the prankster wit that turned heads in the first place

Under The Radar
From the streets of London to white sleeves from Lisbon, Moolchan has set her chopped logic loose upon a whole new playground—and trust me, no one's falling asleep in this trip

All Music
Some artists stumble when they move on from a strongly minimal aesthetic, but Sneaks sounds justifiably confident on Highway Hypnosis, and this suggests any number of new directions where her talent could travel

Loud And Quiet
If you cherry-picked the energy, fuzzing basslines and post-punk spirit from her three albums to date, you’d have something bordering unmissable. But for a sound as transient as hers, that idea of idealistic curation would also deny you the most compelling part of listening to Sneaks’ music: trying to work out whether you love it or hate it

Spectrum Culture
The new sound world on Highway Hypnosis is an exciting and trendy one, and despite the few loose ends and flat compositions, the music here should provide nothing but excitement to fans in anticipation of Moolchan’s next step

Pitchfork
On her third album, the magnetic D.C. multi-instrumentalist pushes from post-punk toward a new clutch of electronic influences, seemingly sorting them as she goes

Earbuddy
On past records, Sneaks has captured ineffable moods that are hard to come by anywhere else. Highway Hypnosis, at its best, is able to channel that vibe, but too often the record falls into a malaise that was previously avoided by propulsive bass guitar rhythms
