“the innocence mission have always been purveyors of a kind of indie-pop that provides shelter from the cacophony of life. Records like theirs will never stop being needed – they’re trusty friends in sonic form, always there to comfortingly share your sadness. Midwinter Swimmers ranks amongst their finest work.” Shindig / UK – 4 stars ****

“It’s been 35 years since the innocence mission’s debut but time hasn’t eroded the impact of frontwoman Karen Peris’ voice... Like Natalie Merchant, Beach House’s Victoria Legrand or Jessica Pratt, her words glancing against hard or intense emotions... Songs of experience, beautifully realised.” MOJO – 4 stars ****

“With Midwinter Swimmers, the innocence mission continue the trend of creating albums of sparkling clarity and coherent vision. The quality is always unfalteringly high throughout, and the tonal and thematic shifts provide enough progression to make every new album essential. This is no exception.” KLOF mag / UK
