“As befits any self-respecting Manchester band, there’s always a thunderstorm of gloomy atmospherics lurking at any given chorus. Musically, the thaw comes in waves of guitars which sound like keyboards and keyboards which sound like electronic ghosts gliding through deserted stately homes. It’s one of those rare albums that makes sense first thing in the morning but you can still yell along to when your head’s exploding. Doves have just made the most uplifting miserable album you’ll hear all year. Wallow in it like a hot bath.” - Jason Fox, NME
