Backwater is the first studio album by Australian music duo Kllo.

[4] Ashley Hampson of Exclaim described the album as "a mature, thoughtful project that explores and attempts to reconcile the ideas of isolation and vulnerability with comfort and familiarity.

"[6] William Sutton of PopMatters wrote, "There is a strong stylistic motif that carries through, but within this, there is a subtle exploration of sounds and styles, which only an album format would allow, with touches of '90s R&B, UK garage, electronica, and sultry pop all evident.

"[11] James Kilpin of Clash stated that "Tracks like 'Last Yearn' and 'Too Fast' see them reach new levels of delicacy, with club influences more prominent elsewhere, but the pervasive dreaminess and charm ultimately results in an absorbing debut album.

[13] All tracks are written by KlloCredits adapted from liner notes.
