Austin had better watch its back.

The album aims for vintage Kate Bush or Diamanda Galas but often comes across closer to vintage Enya.

Live Review
It’s a rare sight to see such electronic trickery performed and paraded with such a remarkable sense of unadulterated joy.

There’s a fissure of AM hiss rippling through the remixed record.

‘Free Reign’ is kaleidoscopic, warped and utterly brilliant.
11th November 2012, 12:01pm
There’s a certain urgency lacking to ‘Kill My Blues’ - Tucker seems determined to tap in to a certain rage and angst, yet still manages to sound rote and homogeneous.
1st October 2012, 11:35am
A visceral, thrilling ride, capable of soundtracking any seedy disco on the outskirts of Nookie Wood.

The skewed appeal of Deerhoof has never sounded more alluring.
21st September 2012, 4:03pm
‘Sic Alps’ is an often fine, often frustrating listen.
17th September 2012, 11:01am
Performed with all the vigour and aplomb of fresh-faced youngsters and executed with the deftness of touch of grizzled old hands.
