Background

A press release called the album's sound a "departure" from the "electro-pop elements" present on their 2022 EP Oblivion!,[4] with DIY calling the single "Friends of Mine" a return to the "euphoric, guitar-driven sound" of the band's debut, Youth Is Only Ever Fun in Retrospect (2017).[3]

Critical reception

Mia Smith of DIY felt that the band's "third could well act as a rallying cry for 2010s indie kids", calling it "like a hug from a warm blanket. Albeit one that smells faintly of dark fruits cider".[5] Dork's Emma Quin described it as "an energetic release well worth listening to" and wrote that it "extends [the band's] legacy, feeling vibrant, boyish and tender" as it "reliv[es] memories of nights out, friendships and relationships".[6]
