Is 4 lovers

"... while the first half of Is 4 Lovers takes a jackhammer to old, if still relatively fertile ground (hey, why have one song called NYC Power Elite when you can have two?), the second half dials down the pulverising and amps up the pulsating on less frenzied, more electronic songs such as Love Letter and Glass Homes. It's a good idea to mix things up, but the move also renders them less visceral and dilutes their identity. Next time, maybe they should try putting on helmets?".

"While shoot-from-the-hips punk is the duo's core vibe here, they've matured over the years and explored softer sounds. Though somewhat tongue-in-cheek, Is 4 Lovers is no exception and features a number of lyrical moments, including the buoyant, '70s synth pop of "Glass Homes" and the piano-driven "Love Letter," which brings to mind the Beatles-inspired work of the late singer/songwriter Emitt Rhodes. All of this makes Is 4 Lovers one of Death from Above 1979's most balanced and stylistically engaging albums".

"Since forming Death from Above 1979 in 2001, Jesse F. Keeler and Sebastien Grainger have taken their melodic post-hardcore and dance-punk aesthetic and honed a sound recognizable as entirely their own ... On Is 4 Lovers, the pair have settled in and settled down, both in their lives and to their own sound".

"Death From Above still pack a punch, but the bruise is a lot more colourful this time. `Is 4 Lovers' is surely the band's best work since their debut. And while they may never feel that vital again, they make right now feel like one helluva rush".
