"Still leaning heavily on vintage synth sounds and brooding moods, the band lets go of the pop formula that informed Fantasy for a more multi-dimensional approach to the album's songcraft. Webber's stunning vocals are even more central to these songs than before, reminiscent at various moments of the stark power of Portishead's Beth Gibbons, the whispery intrigue of Bat for Lashes' Natasha Khan, and Stevie Nicks' haunting elegance ... The production, songwriting, and performances all reach new levels of curiosity and unpredictable moves, making it some of the band's most captivating work".
