Rewild is a decent debut album with enough promise to justify keeping a watchful eye for the future.
-
The band batter you around the head with the kitchen sink in an attempt to get you to sit up and take notice, sometimes to the point where it simply gives you a headache.
-
It’s all very lush and fabulous, but also restrained and calculated to the point of coldness. If that’s intentional, they’ve pulled it off, but not necessarily to the album’s benefit.
-
Everything from Pulpish glam to pastoral psychedelia is given the multicoloured makeover, and yet for all its grandiosity, there's something slightly unsatisfying about Rewild.

MojoResults vary, froma plodding, Kasbian-like 'Deeripper' to the charmingly labyrinthine 'Headdress,' which is so fresh it feels like the genuine article. [Jul 2009, p.96]

Q MagazineNearly, but not quite. [Jul 2009, p.117]
-
'Roverfrenz,' an airy synth fantasia with Animal Collective-ish percussion, gets by on neato textures instead of sharp tunes. In general, Rewild could use a little more of the latter, but who has time for that when you're knee-deep in giant guitars and weird ambient vocalizations?
-
Rewild isn’t an amazing recording, but it is an ambitious one, if supernaturally shallow.
