Reception

Abby Jones of Pitchfork rated Hayday 7.4 out of 10, calling it "a relentless, intentionally chaotic document of twentysomething existential dread", praising vocalist Lydia Slocum's lyrics in particular. [5] Writing for Stereogum , Eli Enis considers this release "an enormous leap forward" in the band's sound from their debut EP Modern Tourism . [2] In a feature on the band for Paste Devon Chodzin wrote that this album has "screeching earworms made the band unforgettable". [3] "Chores" was highlighted by The New York Times , where critic Lindsay Zoladz writing that the band knows "exactly how much noise belongs in their noise-pop" and calls Slocum's vocals charismatic. [6] Marissa Lorusso of NPR stated that this song "radiates a deliciously over-it energy" with lyrics about a break-up that Slocum went through. [7]
