“Let it serve as a platform for free form and thought, while enjoyment creeps in without warning.”
Music Review
“There’s loose linked expressions of imagination, intrigue, excitement and glitch-filtered flow. This first single just hints at the expansive tracks that I hope he’ll release in good time.”
“Surroundings layer up around swathes of warm colours that twist between cold ache and warmth, there’s traces of light and residual heat and a slow touch of absolute blame…”
“In this tight run of three minute snapshots of anger, each skewed by their knee jerk reflections, the very worst track you’ll here find is least favorite. This particular compact and pleasurable mess is the best that Slumb Party have sounded.”
“In gentler moments we’re folk psychedelic, loose and unwound, almost gentle. For the rest there’s a network of reincarnations; Black Flag, Queens Of The Stoneage, Fugazi, Shellac…You can almost hear the dirt of the Desert Sessions calling amongst all the gumption and grit.”
“There’s pop punk and glam, there’s huge swathes of pomp against orchestral swells, there’s wit not just in words but in music. It’s overblown, bloated and beautiful, with a Bat Out Of Hell next of kin.”
