No one dances quite like my brothers

"For being recorded in a cramped home studio in Bushwick last summer, Vår's Sacred Bones debut feels surprisingly spacious and cool, roaming a wide swath between the softest borders of Joy Division, Kraftwerk, and the Foley-effected, electro-acoustic war folk of These New Puritans. Throughout the album, samples of broken glass and metal, acoustic and electric guitars, analog electronics, bleary trumpets, and processed percussion line up in soft curves with scoured edges".

"Vår still relies on the brotherly interplay between Rahbek and Rønnenfelt that provided the creative spark the after school recording project had to begin with. Though they never go as far as allowing their voices to occupy the same space, the contrast between Rahbek's less practiced vocals (on "Pictures of Today/Victorial" and "The World Fell") and Rønnenfelt's now familiar adolescent croon lend the already damaged pop another world-weary layer".

"'No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers' feels engorged with meaning, though it's tricky to unpick. But not since The Cure's 'Faith' has a group pulled off such a feat of heavy, heady melancholy".

"Musikken, der er en særpræget trylledrik bestående af kuldslåede, analoge synthesizere, kølige beats og dommedagstrommer, der på strålende dystre sange som 'The World Fell' og den trompetgæstede 'Motionless Duties' får Vår til at lyde som en industrielt-romantisk nymåne, der glimter som det kælne kærlighedsbarn, det er, af den frodige danske undergrund".
