Uncut - p.31

CMJ
"Everything has an elastic bouncy quality that is hard to achieve with looping drums and a ukulele....Just as Brian Wilson created pocket symphonies, WHOKILL has pocket power ballads."
Billboard - "[The] structured, strummy track 'Powa' showcases Garbus' immense vocal range from dulcet whispers to Robert Plant-like caterwaul."
