“The snowball continues to roll downhill on this video, collecting little snippets of abstract animation and film tricks, offering a stream of visuals as ethereal as the song itself.”  -Pitchfork

“A blurry face, or the surface of a lake flashes on the screen, and the video starts to take on a melancholy feel all its own. As the song’s pastoral folk swells slowly, the cut-together shots of the video start to build their own momentum, tumbling over one another and adding a nice tension to the ever-expanding track. And just when you think you’re catching up to the video’s kaleidoscopic slideshow, the song ends and you are left with one hell of a haunting final image.” -Prefixmag.com

“‘Tunnelvision’ is the first single, tapping all those points, and getting a video that is every bit as sketchily psychedelic and vaguely evocative as its source track.” -Stereogum

“It’s got a lo-fi, for-art’s-sake feel that totally matches with HWGM’s sound.” -Shapeandcolour.com

“It’s not often that a video so perfectly matches the music, but I think that Team Peking have done an amazing job directing this.” -Nobodymove.net

“It’s always refreshing to see the combination of some Super 8 film and a boatload of creativity triumph over the lazy indulgences of technology.”

“We just watched this video ten times in a row.”  -Fader
