'the whole thing comes across as a Boards of Canada-style cosmos - but mostly simply, this is Moscow Youth Cult. And they’re very, very good.' -Planet Notion

'Happiness Machines draws its inspiration from the riches of electronica, avant garde poetry and the grainy aesthetic of obscure Sci-Fi and Horror movies [played live to a selection of cut-up clips].
This is MYC’s first full-length entry into the cannon of their self-styled VHS-pop genre and is a lush showcase of the band’s songwriting and production talents featuring soundscapes that flit effortlessly from lo-fi lamentations and malfunctioning string quartets to sweaty dance floor workouts with machine samples rumbling under layers of synths, beats and tape hiss.' - Lo Recordings

'A welcome British take on the chillwave subgenre, taking Depeche Mode as a larger influence than, say, The Beach Boys, Moscow Youth Cult do their country proud. Glassy and electronic, this is still pop music, but with the kind of underground chops should have the surviving rags losing their marbles' - Boomkat

'If you add the reverb washed Dreamlike laments of Chillwave, those beautiful moods, add add them to the relentless march and sonic adventurousness of midlands post-Industrial, you get Moscow Youth Cult's Happiness Machines' - Electronic Rumors

'delightfully twisted. In short, it’s pop music torn inside out' - Left Lion
