(AU magazine November 2008)
(REACTION RECORDS)
Plunging straight into staccato guitars and angsty lyrics, opener 'Maniac' sees Reemer vocalist Dave Hunter worrying about “the little voices in my head”. Not quite knowing their own minds is a theme for this Scouting for Girls-meets-McFly Mancunian foursome, as 'Words' sees Hunter plaintively and repeatedly wail, “tell me what I’m s’posed to think” as if the voices can offer some direction. The singability of their choruses is impressive, but Reemer have really taken the ingenue train past 'guileless' and straight in to 'stupid'.
