Q (p.115) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "HISSING FAUNA...comes on like Arcade Fire meeting the Scissor Sisters in rehab hell, and heralds the emergence of a major talent." Uncut (p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "HISSING FAUNA...posits its creator as the missing link between Hot Chip and Morrissey." Alternative Press (p.115) - "With this completely progressive and mature effort, it's clear that Barnes is one of indie rock's most gifted songwriters."

CMJ (p.41) - "Beginning with a potential pop anthem, complete with screeching close-knit harmonies, bouncy guitars and synths, the band tricks listeners into a dark, psychedelic and mind-blowing musical experience."
