Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone (pp.63-64) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Capitol City' is a country waltz with bits of Dixieland clarinet, 'Sunloathe' sounds like the Beatles if they were still together in 1974..."

Rolling Stone (p.68) - Ranked #8 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "THE WHOLE LOVE is the band at its original endearing best..."

Spin (p.77) - "[With] laconic twang, organ-driven garage pop, and tempered balladry."

Uncut (magazine) (p.34) - Ranked #15 in Uncut's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "[E]mbracing power-pop, their riskiest jam in years, and a hushed folk strain that culminated in a new classic..."
