Reviews"The three tunesmiths augment robot riffs and splashy drums with very human handclaps and vocal bass lines....The band earns high marks for proving their hooks can translate into any stylistic language.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The melodies are winsome throughout, but LIVING THING is a record for beat mavens, with clattery drum-programming propelling songs that nod to Depeche Mode and South African township jive.", "It's an uneasy, bracingly honest soundtrack to life after fame....'Losing My Mind' is all broken wind-chime clangs....The radio-catchy 'Lay It Down' features skull-cracking synths...", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Dark beats drive 'I'm Losing My Mind,' and a hint of Paul Simon world music punctuates the title track....This is an album of spontaneous originality and should be appreciated as such.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The sound matches lyrics about isolation and despair, achieving a freeze-dried catchiness in the opening songs."
