“Where We Sleep almost feel like the front runners in the search for a new form of rock music, one which very generously tips its hat to the darker swathed, post-punk originators but which also reminds us that commerciality and success should be the by-product of creativity not the driving factor.” - Dancing About Architecture
"Pritchard’s guitars here are stunning, as are Beth Rettig’s deadpan vocals. The effect is as infectious as with Curve’s seminal ‘Horror Head’." - Louder Than War
"The result is a solid mix of original fire and gritty brimstone with a droning sound that combines sweat and soul yet comes out the other side clean and pure. This is audio magic." - Jammerzine
“Her ability to make even the most minimalist of tracks sound claustrophobic is a testament to the unique gifts which Rettig possesses. The heartbreak and hopelessness... are executed with precision, unleashing the specter of a damaged soul that drifts across “Experiments In The Dark”. - The Big Takeover
“As far as debut offerings go, this one is solid, calculated mastery with confident vocals, exacting guitar and a kind of dazed peace-stoner melancholy to these songs. This is Ace!” - The Record Stache
“Where We Sleep – led the former Blindness power source Beth Rettig – is a mistress of sonic shades of grey with the five songs that make up this EP swirling fog atop the rhythmic fascism of looped inevitability. Ms Rettig, as always, is laconic to the point of no return with her spiralling voice wrapping words around the anguished chords of torment that drive these songs ever forward to the edge of some spiritual abyss.” - Bluesbunny

Jo Bevan is one of the best singers in modern rock. The band is tight and talented and does some nifty post-punky style stuff. This album has some exceptional songs on it. rick-taylor
