“Feel-good music can be annoying if you’re not, y’know, feeling good. Even with handclaps, tap-dancing synths, and cheerleader chants, though, the Brooklyn duo sound more punk than twee in Lightning. Songs with shotglass-half-full titles like ‘It’s Alright’ and ‘Not That Bad’ build to fist-pump choruses, but there’s just enough attitude to counter that rah-rah spirit.” –Entertainment Weekly
