From live reviews:

“This exemplary and dynamically perfect set draws to a close with the guitars spiralling into a swelling coda.”

“My heart was pounding my eyes were wide open trying to absorb what each member of the band was doing whilst at the same time fascinated by the extremely fitting visuals, kaleidoscopes, sunshine, bullets smashing their way through objects, every visual clip perfectly partnered with the mood of the song.”

From record reviews:

“this album starts beautifully and ends beautifully, almost seeming like this album was made for of the most blissful day’s you’ll ever experience with a lot of seemingly energetic tracks in between, giving the sense of a child’s wonder for everything.”

“My friend said that her heart exploded when she heard it.”

“their new, eponymous album is stuffed with a surfeit of great soundscapes, and soaring song craft. ‘Battleships’ has to be played, full volume”

“Like any good release, the band’s debut and self-titled album is characterized by unwavering confidence. Nary an awkward misstep or transition, MinionTV reminds even the most seasoned listener of what a musically tight band should sound like, warranting comparisons to many established acts.”
