"After a three-year hiatus, Toronto quintet Small Sins is finally back with their third studio release, Pot Calls Kettle Black. The album finds the band experimenting with a plethora of styles, particularly electronica and synth-pop, while frontman Thomas D’Arcy continues to churn out clever lyrics in his distinctive heart-on-sleeve style. The electro-funk “Déjà Vu” is easily the gem of the album with its sizzling explosions between Todor Kobakov’s slinky piano riffs and Brent Follett’s propulsive drum beats. With k-os guesting on the track, “Déjà Vu” guarantees to put the album on the indie map and, as the album ventures into melancholic and contemplative territory with songs like “Everything You Need,” you can’t help but admire D’Arcy’s refusal to be tied down by one musical genre." - Eye Weekly (4 stars)

Engineered by John McEntire (Tortoise, Stereolab, Sea & Cake, Broken Social Scene)
