“One of Malkmus’ most consistenly engaging outings since Pavement… a particular delight to behold” 8/10 Uncut
“A master of sophisticated whimsy” The Guardian
“Infectious” 4* MOJO
“Malkmus’s chosen position is clear – esteemed sage of the pop-cultural margins, his commentary always interesting, sometimes exhilarating“ Q
