‘Their highly anticipated debut album Howling at a Concrete Moon, released under Chillburn Recordings, co-produced by Andy Ramsay of Stereolab, and whose name is taken from a Simpsons episode, epitomises all that makes this band special. It’s an absolute joy from start to finish. Not only is it sonically dynamic and unpredictable throughout, each track’s lyrics are emotive and wry – ever bouncing between the personal and the political. They explore themes from love to the disillusionment that comes with growing up in an austere Britain, all the while accompanied by wistfully textured, lo-fi instrumentals. The album is buoyant, nostalgic, even at times poignant; and epitomises as well as romanticises the dichotomy between the inner city and the stars.’ Joyzine
‘The debut record by Pynch just hits that sweet spot. It is a perfect record that should appeal to both people in their 30s (or older) who are nostalgic for those cool bands of the early 00s and also to young listeners, who might as well find their new favourite music group in them. Howling At A Concrete Moon is steeped in noughties electronica and indie rock, with each song having a special lo-fi touch and endless charm, underlined by clever and fun lyrics.’ Acute Pop
