Praise for Time To Go Home

“… a heady comedown with sweet surges of the-party-isn’t-over energy, a band making joy from disappointment” MOJO 4/5

“Funny, smart and so elegantly poised” Uncut 8/10

“Time To Go Home is an unrepentant triumph that will ultimately establish the group as one of the most important musical voices in 2015” The 405 9/10

“ The record works brilliantly as a feminist reposte to The Strokes Is This It?” The Line of Best Fit 8/10

“This is feminism as fact; as default…It’s the evolution of how young women impart vitally important information.” — NPR

“They’re funny, and slightly goofy, and gently vulgar, and they play with an appealingly loose, relaxed confidence.” — Pitchfork

“Pretty much every line is genius” — Paper Magazine

“The record is very, very good.” — The FADER

“Digs even deeper into a jaded melancholia that they only scratched the surface of on their debut.” — Stereogum
