“It’s layers upon layers of soaring guitars, intricate drums, and just a tinge of wandering shoegaze allwrapped in a rhythmic frenzy . . . This is a song about actually experiencing the things surrounding you,and it parallels the exquisite interlocking guitar lines and competing rhythms enveloping Gunn’s voice”— Stereogum
“‘Ancient Jules’ folds in feedback, countermelodies and a solo that burns like a cigarette hanging just offthe lip.” – NPR Music [Songs We Love”]
