To say that Oh Holy Molar has a bite is a vast understatement -- the record grabs ahold of your skin and refuses to let go.- Prefix Magazine

This is almost selfishly indulgent, and unless you haven't heard the previously released "Dr. Marten's Blues," you have very little to learn from the rest of the album.- Prefix Magazine

It has a known start and finish, with a middle that's tied together cleanly enough.- Prefix Magazine

Taken as a whole Shy Pursuit feels like a flat amalgamation of post-millennial indie-pop tropes clean-cut from the quirks and charms of their creators.- Prefix Magazine

Most of these songs would make for a devastating end to an emotionally charged, disturbed album. But ten songs like that in a row?- Prefix Magazine

Nupping proved it, and Natural History amplifies the point that Dope Body are a completely unimpeachable unit from a musical standpoint: able to fit in with contemporaries while still sounding undoubtedly like themselves, carrying on the proud outsider-rock tradition of their hometown.- Prefix Magazine

The other moments here retread instead of reform, so while the trio's stubborn vision for their music is abmirable, its limitations become glaringly clear as you get to the record's end.- Prefix Magazine

On the whole, Anxiety lacks the addictive quality of its predecessor, and it's certainly less musically interesting.- Prefix Magazine

As a genre that's saturated with trends, micro-trends, and anti-trends, it's rare to find someone doing something that makes a legitimate claim at being totally unique.- Prefix Magazine

It's the sound of a cooking band truly cooking it in the studio. Everything sounds like it's about to jump the rails at any given moment.- Prefix Magazine

While the album, at times, feels a bit monochromatic, it maintains its intrigue and never loses its vision.- Prefix Magazine

Words And Music expertly explores the intoxicated love of music and the sheer joy of being a music fan: feelings so universal that they will never be confined to particular eras.- Prefix Magazine

The hooks often lack a singular focus, and there's a significant amount of fun to be had while working in a studio that's better off left on the cutting room floor.- Prefix Magazine

The true brilliance of Cancer For Cure is its refusal to find common ground, to come to the middle and meet anyone.- Prefix Magazine

If Family Perfume Vol. 1 can be seen as a progression where Presley is settling into his skin, Family Perfume Vol. 2 is a cathartic catalogue of letters never sent, the consequences of past decisions poignant enough to keep Presley musing, wide-eyed, remorseful--but nonetheless hopeful.- Prefix Magazine

Black Mesa ventures deep into individuality but it's ultimately a fever dream that's more accessible to the man who created it rather than to an audience.- Prefix Magazine

Dismania makes for an altogether appropriate title for an album this interested in gathering the common ingredients of despair, anger and disaffection.- Prefix Magazine

It's his finest work yet, which is saying something, and the kind of record that will resonate for years not just because it's reveres history, but because it understands it and isn't afraid to demand answers from it.- Prefix Magazine

Even if they are more refined, they may still sound very much like what Blackshaw has given us before.- Prefix Magazine

Adventures in Your Own Backyard is about as confirmatory of an artist's status quo as an album can be; it takes Watson's style in no new directions, preferring instead to bask in its own childlike exuberance and to demonstrate all the trappings of ambition but little in the way of earning it.- Prefix Magazine

For all its questing, though, the album's--and the band's--heart and soul are the simple arrangements which, layered upon one another like a stack of firewood, often signify something greater than their sum.- Prefix Magazine

If "just trying to play with passion" is the ethos, then consider the band's sophomore album, Death Dreams, the perfection.- Prefix Magazine
