What people are saying about Still Corners:
“Tessa Murray’s ethereal vocals are trance-inducing...sounds as if it could loop on into some dreamy eternity.” - Stereogum
"Fireflies"...is no less beholden to the past-- only, this time, the band's drawing from the spangly, huge-sounding sounds of 1980s synth-pop. It's their most immediate and starry-eyed song to date, with Tessa Murray's multi-tracked vocals navigating their way through gorgeously empty terrain dotted with cymbal washes and gently pulsing synth tones.” [Best New Track] - Pitchfork
“…starry-eyed, cinematic ’80s prom slow-dance vibes…” Gorilla vs Bear

to challenge themselves, the band are able to move forward without
losing sight of the flavours which made their debut so seductive.” - Clash
“…Pure, infectious pop.” - Paper Mag

music is ephemeral, but not meandering, the lush arrangements striking
a balance between organic instrumentation and the synthetic, the
crystalline guitar lines offsetting digital pop effects and subdued
drum machine beats." [8/10] - Pop Matters
"A welcome, and ultimately pleasurable return." [8/10] - Drowned In Sound
"The feel is consistently of an eerie twilight, perched high above a near-future city." [8/10] - Clash

an album of cinematic charm and where, with the weight lifted off his
shoulders, Hughes has created a journey along a dark motorway that adds
light and colour to stand out from the traffic.” - This Is Fake DIY
"...A brilliant dream-pop record." - Treble
"Like Creatures of an Hour, Strange Pleasures is a piece of great beauty..." [8.1/ 10] PASTE
