Nat & Alex Wolff’s Self-Titled Fourth Album Critiqued for Familiar Sound

An A.V. Club review spotlights early standouts, calling the songwriting thin.

Overview

  • The duo have released Nat & Alex Wolff, their fourth album and first self-titled project.
  • The A.V. Club says the record leans on familiar indie and alt-rock templates that echo Kurt Vile, Radiohead, and The National.
  • Early tracks draw the strongest notices, with opener Tough and the piano-led Candy Speak singled out despite uneven lyrics.
  • Billie Eilish contributes lullabic backing vocals to Soft Kissing Hour, a cameo recorded in a stripped-down session described by the brothers.
  • The review identifies themes of nostalgia and past relationships and faults the album’s cohesion and emotional specificity.
