Sick Of DIY reviews
"Rooted in the mundane specifics of British life but aims for something universal... depending on your age, very Britpop, or very post-punk – music by smart young things who think pop should be both intelligent and accessible..."
The Scotsman
"More than enough of an original lyrical bite to punch with the big boys...a confident, intelligent and even literary air to go with its subtle guitar invention..."
MusicOMH
"Seemingly carrying on from where Pulp left off, delivering jaunty indie pop with a lyrical air of the mundane and a lead singer whose charisma and charm translates directly from your speakers..."
UK Music Search
"Luxembourg once again prove that they can deliver flawed masculinity better than anyone else at the moment... Oh, and "it's all so convenient / that you have your own wrench," is without doubt the finest lyric of the day..."
Playlouder
"Supremely confident and knowingly camp, it’s a rollicking good tune that grows as determinedly as ivy on a country cottage..."
God Is In The TV
"Guitar and synth...working together to create a suitable introduction for the kind of glorious, indulgent pop Britain stopped doing in the 90s..."
Clickmusic
"This is a big pop-production number that travels a parallel track to The Divine Comedy singing The Smiths. It’s an arch yet sweet little ditty..."
Vanguard Online
"Another three minutes of guitar and keyboard led pop-music from Luxembourg... they just about fall on the side of the line marked 'irresistible'..."
PowPowPow
"At last, I hold in my hands another single from the brilliant and as yet criminally unnoticed Luxembourg. Once again it’s another spectacular display of David Shah’s searingly emotional voice..."
Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before
"Luxembourg look set to get lovers of classic windswept indie all of a fluster with this sweeping melodic epic..."
Gigwise
"A band with a distinctly 80's brought up to date feel – think Pulp/Marc Almond/ Morrissey, but with a hint of glam...a catchy up tempo pop number..."
Get Ready to Rock
"Luxembourg still know how to get a good hook into a song and the chorus delivers the goods...there's nothing wrong with having a good old jig around your kitchen while wearing your Marigolds is there..."
Tasty
"Sounds like he should be out of Spandau Ballet... The similarities are great...there are the finest (and cheesiest) 21st century drums and echoes..."
