From Iceland — Worm Is Green: Push Play

Published January 13, 2006

A placid, atmospheric selection of electro trip-hop with a lyrical fixation on lonely robots, Push Play oozes listlessly from song to song, finding comfort in radio-friendly contentedness. There is an air of insincerity to the laid-back atmosphere of the album, however, and at times it seems its arresting subtlety is nothing but an act, but if so, it’s a pretty damn good one: Push Play is a musical plateau, never rising to any summits of greatness, but never sinking to any depths of incompetence, either.
