Excerpt: "Apricot Rail has this post rock instrumental lark down pat. As if some fresh breezes wafted down from the West Australian wheat belt this quintet play the line between rock, instrumental soundscape and a border edged skirmish with pop and experimental...  It is almost as if on their first outing they have achieved a ‘mature sound’ without having to go through the teething stages of raw visceral grunge... With the interesting tunings of the guitar, the giddy delight of intricacies and nuance of instrument voices, an excellent hold on movement between stylistic patterns as flourishes and displays of control Apricot Rail seem intent to prove that rock and roll may not die but may well usurp itself into the academy."
