"Thee Oh Sees' release their eighth casually brilliant album in a row - There's a reason why John Dwyer enjoys a place on the top rung of modern day psychedelia. His reluctance to be confined to one particular sound (which makes him even more psychedelic), his nonchalant attitude towards genre, his increasing influence in leftfield rock and his skill in piecing together rhythm, chaos and calm makes him one of the most captivating artists indie rock has right now".

"The shimmering Mellotron, repetitive guitar figure, and elfish vocals of "The Poem" are like Donovan on a bum trip, and the jangling, almost jazzy "At the End, On the Stairs" sounds like the Monkees at their weirdest. Both these songs, and the sonic experiments that surround them, boast of just how impressively good Dwyer and Thee Oh Sees were in 2016. Packed full of confident exploration, sonic wizardry, expert guitar manipulation, and tight songcraft, this album of "leftovers" is as good as most of their contemporaries' best work".
