Press “… sure-footed disco-punk… A sweet clever, charismatic record.” 8/10 NME
“… not just one of the year’s freshest dance records but also the wittiest… F&M’s low profile is inexplicable.” 4/5 Guardian
“…Fujiya & Miyagi excel at making lockstep motorik liable to get toes tapping and heads bobbing. But they really hit their stride on “Collarbone”, the groove-laden second track off compilation LP Transparent Things” 8.3/10 Pitchforkmedia.com
