"All glam-slamming indie pop angles are covered, with a distinctly contemporary alt-indie panache. OK, the lyrical themes explored (girls, sunshine, youthful exploits) are basic. But Keiran Shudall's couplets are so deathlessly joyful ... Circa Waves will be huge because even the most po-faced generation needs light relief and, this last half-decade, all the pop kids have had is the hollow faux-indie of Bastille. So sod the scowlers, consider this your permission to pogo".
