Upon release, Mallrat said "I feel like so many of life's most special moments happen in the car.

"[2] Josh Leeson from Newcastle Herald said "Mallrat has created a trademark sound over two EPs which is unmistakable; nostalgic lyrical sketches with hypnotically repetitive melodies over chilled downbeats... and on Driving Music the specific sound has become almost impossible to escape".

"[3] Rhian Daly from NME said "Aside from being full of great songs, one of Driving Music's strengths is its ability to make you feel like you're having an out-of-body experience, viewing the world from up above as Shaw puts her relationships and experiences under a microscope."

Her voice is more present than ever, not just because it's stronger but also because what she's saying is more profound... [The EP] is essentially a collection of songs about companionship – the warmth of being together and the isolation of being alone.

The dreampop-like music masks the sensitive topics that her lyrics cover, and will quickly become songs to add to your playlist.
