Critic Reviews
Show All-
Earmilk
"Rearrange Us" is a smooth foot-tapping groove.
-
Thank Folk For That
By including the majestic ‘Strangers’ at the end at least reminds us that there are some real moments of quality that make this record one that you will return to, but maybe not in its entirety.
-
The Young Folks
Although there is no doubt that Mt. Joy is a band of talented musicians who are passionate about art and the stories they tell, this album misses the mark of being a truly great, impressionable sophomore project.
-
PopMatters
For Mt. Joy, this belief is the foundation for an album that leaves a heartfelt impression.
-
The Line of Best Fit
It is a sure-fire formula that underpins Rearrange Us, aiming for arena-heights and just about reaching such.
-
Vinyl Chapters
Mt. Joy have created a harmonious sound, suitable for all scenarios via their brand new album Rearrange Us. It is a record that oozes relaxation and positivity and has the ability to fill any room, even during these strange times of isolation and lockdown.
-
Exclaim
The journey on Rearrange Us might showcase feelings of personal heartbreak, but the uplifting and confident undertones throughout the record result in a renewed sense of optimism.
-
Narc Magazine
Although Rearrange Us has some real diamonds, the lengthy album lacks consistency, interrupting its flow and limiting its potential.
-
Clout
The brilliant modesty of the record speaks for the personality of Mt. Joy, who have ensured their newest take weaves longing, romantic regret, and self-motivation in the face of it, amongst others, into an album that deserves to be highly sought after.
-
When the Horn Blows
Having released a string of singles over the last few months, indie folk outfit Mt. Joy return with the beautiful sophomore album ‘Rearrange Us’.
-
All Music
Though still a bit short on personality, Mt. Joy shows bright glimmers of originality on this sophomore set, suggesting interesting things to come.
-
Alternative Addiction
Mt. Joy's Rearrange Us is a perfect album to listen to when you really want to dive into something with intelligent layers. There's a lot to digest here lyrically and musically and it makes for an album that just isn't made anymore.

Altrevue
Rearrange Us is a winner from start to finish. It's highly listenable, without a skippable track on the album. Consequently, I cannot wait to hear it on vinyl. Give them a little time, but these tracks will grow on you in a similar manner that the songs from Mt. Joy did. They take some chances on this one, but they pay off.
