Recording and production
The record was the first album from the band after they reformed in 2009.[2]
Critical response
- "Stately" **** Q magazine
- "...easily their finest album since that era defining debut **** Mixmag
- "...distressed beats, washes of strings, cosmic musings. Elegantly done" *** The Observer[2]
- "...ethereal and mesmeric" *** Mail on Sunday
- "Doyens of the breakbeat, lamb reconvene with a glorious new album" Future Music
- 4 stars MOJO Magazine
- 4/5 The Telegraph [3]
The Independent found that little had changed since their split, with the band still sounding middle-class and unthreatening, although singer Lou Rhodes's voice was sounding more like Stevie Nicks.[4]
