"A concept album about death and grief during a pandemic? Now there's bravery. Fortunately, Tunng bring a characteristically light touch to these tender, if not taboo subjects".

"Dead Club goes somewhat in the other direction of the sunny sentiments of Songs You Make at Night, serving as a soundtrack and companion piece to the group's podcast series centered around death, loss, dying, and grief ... The death-centered storytelling of both the lyrics and podcast excerpts works well with Tunng's ever-ambitious blend of mystical folk and futuristic pop, and ultimately Dead Club's perspectives on the great beyond come off as curious and playful where they could have skewed far more fatalistic".

"Folktronica crew face the final taboo ... The origins of this remarkable collision of music and spoken word lie in a series of podcast interviews recorded by the band's Becky Jacobs in which various philosophers, physicians, authors and others talk about deaths".
