Observer Music Monthly
Wait till you hear 'Norrlands Riviera', the best thing Belle and Sebastian never did. Blissful.

Uncut
They've come up with a non-vocal album that surprises and delights. [Nov 2008, p.112]

Pitchfork
As beautifully assembled as parts of Seaside Rock are, a couple of genre-specific tracks underscore its stopgap nature.

This is a collection of instrumentals that, when fully peeled back, reveal beauty within, and are fit to grace many a chill out collection. It's just a shame that they stop frustratingly short of revealing more personality, which vocals would have achieved.

The results are comprehensively bemusing, but Swedish is an exquisitely lulling language to listen to, and so the whole effect is oddly hypnotic. [Nov 2008, p.118]

Seaside Rock amounts to a log of underhashed production ideas from the test kitchen.

There’s nothing outstandingly terrible about Seaside Rock, but that’s what ultimately makes it kind of boring.
