Critical reception edit
The album received favourable reviews with The Irish Times referring to the album as a "smart collection of intelligent and sensitive rock...[that will] do the heart and soul good."[2] Hot Press Magazine reported: "Last time round, we described them as "atmospheric indie", but 'Arrhythmia' is composed of bleaker soundscapes, more reminiscent of Joy Division".[1][6] Kelly Crisp of The Rosebuds said of the album: "this album [Arrhythmia] is luxurious, and a reminder that we're here now, making art and loving beautiful music".[7]
