"Vancouver’s SPECTRES have been around for nearly a decade, and they’ve helped spur an underground resurgence of dark, gothy old-school post-punk... Today, the band follows 2016’s Utopia with the new album Nostalgia, their fourth. It’s worth your time... SPECTRES' production is sharp and clean and cavernous. They bring glistening guitar lines and sinister, snaky bass and grand, echoing baritone hooks. If they’d come along in the early ’00s, I can imagine every big indie label just throwing money at them."
–Stereogum
"Ahead of the curve of the dark post-punk revival... Deathrock fare, like the arrow-sharp forward motion of 'Insurgence,' slots in neatly alongside dreamy pop like 'Fate'... Every move is perfectly executed, and yet the emotion behind it feels genuine."
–Bandcamp Daily
"A sound reminiscent of '80s stalwarts such as the Chameleons, Blancmange, Echo and the Bunnymen... A heady mix of harsh post-punk woven into a more melodic New Wave sound, a recipe for deep emotional upheaval."
–Post-Punk
"Top notch new wave that takes inspiration from early British anarcho-punk and adds dense layers of melody to create a sonic landscape with equal parts fury and melancholy."
–CVLT Nation
"Not just a pastiche of a bygone era... [SPECTRES] take the ingredients that make that music so memorable and instill it with their own forward looking ethos. The album should help the Vancouver based five piece to be placed among the top acts of the dark wave scene while also appealing to an audience that isn’t all leather jackets and motorcycle boots."
