One Thirty BPM -- “...Success in catchy tunes and high energy. The sound comes across as being very similar to The Rapture, especially when the singer busted out his cowbell-on-a-stick. In fact, the singer truly impressed with his onstage work ethic, adding secondary percussion and keyboards to his enthusiastic vocals, and even managed to cover a lot of ground when he wasn’t preoccupied. I’m not a dancer, but Death Kit provided the kind of music that it was hard not to move your body to.”

Beatcrave.com -- “Forlorn yet effective lyrics paired with firm, romantic guitar chords and earth shattering synth lines in songs such as “Devadasi” and “I Can Make You Love Me” made melancholy shockingly danceable.”
Turntable Kitchen -- “The a-side “Devadasi” is sure to be one of the year’s strongest synth-pop gems and alone is worth the price of the record. It features brightly-lit synths, glass-smooth vocals, and purposeful percussion that alternates between stumbling and steady. Sporting an ambiance that calls to mind 80′s Cure singles, but a grooving electro-disco rhythm that transform this cut into a contemporary synth-anthem

Buzzbands.la -- "The bedroom answer to Friendly Fires. Singer-drummer August Brown’s quaver sounds straight off the 7-inch singles by Sarah Records staples Brighter and Field Mice. But there’s subterfuge beneath Death Kit’s sheen. Is this the next great stalker anthem?"
Das Klienicum -- “Einen spannenden release gibt es auf fort lowell records zu erwähnen, hier tritt auf einer 7inch eine wirklich interessante elektronisch angehauchte band aus l.a. an, die damit ihr physisches debut einläutet, erinnert sei an dead western plains, tracy shedd, young mothers..., die ebenfalls auf diesem klitzekleinen dingens unterwegs sind.”
Gorillacoustic.com -- Performance of “Devadasi” on the Gold Line.
Passion of the Weiss -- “I Can Make You Love Me” combines a glittering synth-pop melody with a video of a melancholy werewolf...Watch out for Death Kit, they could be dangerous.”
