Until in excess, imperceptible ufo

"There's only eight tracks on the album, none of which is in a rush to get anywhere, and the final three simply don't have the impact or the impetus of the proceeding songs, meaning that as a whole the record builds up a lot of anticipation without the expected release ... There are some great moments on this record, but by the end they're lost under swathes of synths and looking for a sense of purpose".

"It has to be said that there's not exactly an array of different musical ideas on this album. Euphoric, drawn-out synth sounds underpin airy vocal harmonies and guitar lines that can be as delicate as lace one moment, a whirling maelstrom of fuzz the next ... The Besnard Lakes have found their sound and they're sticking to it, from album to album and from song to song. So yes, there's a distinct absence of envelope-pushing on Until In Excess... - but frankly, when the result is this beautiful, who can really bring themselves to care?"".
