"Shoegazers go synth-pop, with outstanding results. This Polaris-nominated Montreal trio, having toured with Arcade Fire, take fresh journeys on their third LP. Once "finished", they sent it to Swedish producer Dan Lissvik (of Studio) - who they never met - and gave him free rein. The net result is magically multi-faceted synth-pop, but as the title implies, elusive, mercurial. They are crafted, uplifting songs (the gorgeous "We Have Everything" and "Cover Your Tracks" recall variously New Order, Japan or Electribe 101) but also haunting, ambient undercurrents hinting at everything from Art Of Noise to The xx to Fever Ray (4/5, Chris Roberts, Uncut Magazine)
