"This record's so great at building an effortlessly dreamlike landscape. Most of the tracks here are little more than a repetitive guitar with vocals, but the way the two go together works on every track. Jessica's voice is the main factor holding everything together, it takes a short while to get..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the most underrated albums ever created for me. Even though they dont invent or bring anything completely new to music. This is an astonishing piece of work, every song stands for itself, yet they work as a whole in the album."  Reply

"A bit of a departure from their first two albums, The Back Room and An End Has A Start, to a more electronic sound. And it didn't really work for me. Although I do like Bricks And Mortar - great song."  Reply

"For an album about lovelessness, Aromanticism is a strangely seductive one, occupying it's own space, uniquely at odds with the rest of the world. Romance is out, with many of the songs offering revealing yet affecting critiques on relationships. Make of it what you will, it's another world but i..."  [+]  Reply

"First album from the second quintet, but I can't argue with a previous comment that they are already at their peak...from which they never dropped in their three years together.

"Absolutely stunning in so many places, it is basically the same contrast they did in White Light from the Mouth on Infinity; grandiose loud walls of sound pitted against dreamy folk (albeit this time the loud bits are even louder, and there is now an overt country tinge to the folk bits) The one ..."  [+]  Reply
