“Lonerism is portable and joyous in an unforced way, a soundtrack for the times when you’re walking downtown and look up at a collection of skyscrapers, or driving through a mountain pass on an interstate or even looking at a Ferris wheel next to an ocean thinking, “Holy shit, how did this all get here?” – Pitchfork, 9.0 Best New Music
 
“Equal parts power pop, psych and thundering rhythms, the music is a perfect union of main stage, dance tent, and 5am freak zone.” – Q Magazine
 
“Tame Impala rule.” – Hottest Record In The World – BBC1 / Zane Lowe 
 
“Lonerism is liberally spiked with synths, propelling these songs even further towards the heart of the sun.” – MOJO
