"Amelia finds Long Fin Killie fleshing out their dense poly-rhythmic songs with multi-layered guitars and strings. Unlike past albums where seemingly all but the operatic vocals served the rhythm, this album's instrumentation swoons and swells, shimmering in the music's staccato gaps. In addition, the album finds a new home for the band in lock grove repitition (at times reminiscent of the Wedding Present's late eighties output). All in all a very pleasing record, and an exciting new direction for the band."
Astonishing

"If heavon was to ever to be put in a trance Amelia would be its Hypnosis. Tight percussion with a blanket of dream like harmonics add to a superior groove that throws you in a pool of subconscience."
