This album is so varied and a staple to rock in Canada, I really appreciate all the effort put in by each member of Freak Heat Waves. So much raw talent and killing of a game. This is the type of album I listened to on a plane and was swept out of my head and into a different world, the same world. My top three favs are Design of Success, Dig a Hole, but for sure China Blue.

The Shivas deliver a set of righteous three-chord wonders with a mean streak that will always be to the tastes of a certain doomy subset of ‘60s rock fans. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 29, 2019
These Brighton post-punks keep their music intense and minimal but it retains the joyful, jumpy feel of fizzy guitar pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2022
