Reception

Bill Pearis of BrooklynVegan named this the indie album of the week for having "ultra-catchy, danceable songs" and speculating that it would be a top 10 personal favorite for the year. In NME, Tristan Gatward gave this album 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "a titanic debut album serving up basement grooves and raw post-punk spirit" with music that "is raw, urgent basement music, hurtling through as many gems as possible before the lights come up".
