According to Metacritic, The
French Press has a score of 81 out of 100, based on 4 reviews, indicating that
it has received "universal acclaim" from critics. One favorable
review of the EP was written by Pitchfork Media's Stuart Berman, who gave it an
8.1/10 rating, writing that the French Press "shines just as
bright as their last EP [Talk Tight], but the songs cast darker shadows." In
a more mixed review, Landon MacDonald of PopMatters gave the EP a 5 out of 10
rating, writing that "Ultimately, this record is for indie rock fans alone
and can’t stretch past the borders of the genre."
Robert Christgau gave Talk
Tight an A grade, writing that "If you like the [guitar] effect—and why
not, it's beautiful—you'll gravitate to it on sound alone. But what I'm loving
at least as much is lyrics that suit the bright white male culture the sound
implies." He also compared the band's sound to that of the Go-Betweens, a
comparison that has also been made by critics like Stephen Deusner. The band
has also been aligned with Melbourne's dolewave scene.
[Verse 1]
You trace your hands around the wheel
Your face, it shines in the flicker of the film
[Pre-Chorus]
It sounds like rain, I hear the beating in my heart
You want it simple, how hard you make it
[Chorus]
Could have been stumbling on the ancient stone
Four feet wandering in the eve before we
Turn inside, turn inside
Turn inside
[Post-Chorus]
Buzzing overhead
Banging on and on and on
[Verse 2]
Come around, come around, through the cold, in the warmth
Of the car, I'm the raven, I'm the keeper of your secrets
[Pre-Chorus]
It sounds like rain, I hear the beating in my heart
You want it simple, how hard you make it
[Chorus]
Could have been stumbling on the ancient stone
Four feet wandering in the even before we
Turn inside, turn inside
Turn inside
[Post-Chorus]
Buzzing overhead
Banging on and on and on
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
At the intersection, waiting on the corner
Bottom of the freeway, before it opens up
At the intersection, waiting on the corner
Bottom of the freeway, before it opens up.
