“The genre-blending romantics have issued a second taste of their Tim Goldsworthy-produced LP: “To Send Our Love,” a light-footed hybrid of Krautrock’s electro-march and DFA’s nuovo disco, with a little bit of Talking Heads existential exploration thrown in for good measure.” –SPIN
“Full widescreen dance mode with a decidedly DFA backend.” — Brooklyn Vegan
“The single [Reformation Age] evokes certain feelings of longing and loss whilst somehow remaining uplifting and catchy, a balance that is difficult to pull off correctly, but World’s End Press nail it.” — Earmilk
