Comments: From Spectral Nights: "‘Connection Lost’ opens the record and in its first note, it feels like the band have never been away. Jangly and jaunty indie pop in the vein of Maximo Park...or the Wombats, as the song progresses it has fuzzy keyboards as the band sing about how ‘your message isn’t clear’ and how ‘you don’t tell me, you just disappear’. A song designed for pogoing; there are experimental moments in its closing minutes. This is followed by ‘Hunting for the Sun’, a louder song that has elements of Foals’ accessible style of math rock. There are scattergun riffs and a samba beat as Carnival Youth sing about how ‘With fake bullets and plastic suns, that’s how we begun hunting for the sun’."
