Philip Sherburne also reviews the release in the latest issue of The Wire magazine:


“On the first new HOTP release in an overdue minute, the mandate remains the same. Instead of restricting themselves to formula, however, the duo have worked it into their most impressive creation yet with “Where There You Been Gone Find It”, which juggles backwards-run guitar washes, Afrobeat inspired plucking, disassembled drumkits falling down the stairs in perfect time and vocals so twisted you’d suspect they’d been culled from masters that had been stuffed into someone’s sock drawer. “
