“And what’s remarkable is that it only takes two guitars and a drumkit to create such a massive, staggering, eardrum-ripping sledgehammer of sound. ‘Two Kindsa Love’ steadily thumps its way into a screaming musical orgasm, as Spencer shrieks, “Higher, baybuh!” while climbing up on amps, flailing his arms, running laps round the stage. “I gotta do it!” he wails and then crumples to the floor with a relieved exhalation. But even before he’s down, he springs back up again, and the whole routine restarts with the appropriately titled ‘Wail’” – April Long / NME
