"The Water That We Swim In covers a lot of ground yet remains a thrillingly engaging and cohesive piece of work. It’s no mean feat for a band to balance their love of shoegaze, psychedelia and punkified psych-rock with a penchant for pedal steel and no-wave noise. The album flat out refuses a simple, one-note narrative and finds the band embracing all the darkness, light and tangible chaos of these increasingly unpredictable times. A very impressive debut."
Andy Brown, Louder Than War

"Impressive blend of styles that musically soak up bass driven, post-punk, dreamy psych and even the nu-folk sounds of Steve Gunn. Playful without ever being sketchy, this is full of total solid gold tunes. Very listenable indeed!" Jumbo Records

This album is like taking a road trip in a hearse....at midnight..along a dark road...with the lights off...with Lewis Hamilton driving...blindfolded. Dark and exhilarating ..strap yourself in and enjoy...this album is well worth the trip. Grant Wilson
