Reception
editThe album received mostly positive reviews; the aggregator site Metacritic assigned it a weighted score of 74, indicating that critics were generally favorable.[3] In Pitchfork, Ian Cohen assigned the album a score of 6.8 of a possible 10, saying that "Weaves is an impressive album about incapacitating infatuation, [but] it’s not always served by giving its ADD and OCD impulses equal say".[4] Both Cohen and Mary Kate McGrath of Consequence note that Weaves is an attempt to make a case that indie rock can be musically innovative as a genre.[5]

Picture the classic rock band. It's likely you're thinking of a four-piece: bass, guitar, drums, vocals. Though they might at first glance look pretty standard, Weaves are not doing that kind of math. On their debut, the Toronto quartet shed the restraints of indie rock structure and form, letting something more emotional drive their sparse and artistic sound.
