| Sounds Like | REVIEWS:
Teletext on 4: "Andy death's excitable ba-ba-bas and the chiming guitars mean they bounce like prime Belle and Sebastian... there's ambition to send them soaring. If they hone their knack of elegant pop, they'll live up to their name."
skatterbrain.org (mp3 blog): "super jangly shimmering choruses... this is a really, really great start, the guys voice reminds me of someone but I can't for the life of me think who it is. Anyway, it's totally good you should listen..."
bloodshedinthewoodshed.blogspot.com: "Young Sensation are from Totnes, a place where legend or moreso Wikipedia has it tha Brutus of Troy first found these isles (!) I shouldn't like this but I do, it's a bit like Interpol impersonating Arcade Fire doing the Upper Room... exactly!"
bugbear promotions: "pristine dramatic leftfield pop, lots of glacial guitars and cracked vocals... this is really reminding me of the Chameleons... there's some of Arcade Fire's artpop pomp in here too, all in all very good."
musicspotlight.co.uk: "Young Sensation are already displaying the perfect pop sensibilities expected of an established band."
