"The album begins with “Small Fries”: shifting, clean guitar notes, pounding bass and soft drum cymbals. The guitar continues its jazzy, soft lament as the vocals set in: “…But you can't evict the sun It shines on one hour Every morning Every day..” Quite appropriate at the moment..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the more unique power pop albums due to the influence of quirky new wave and experimental pop. Stamey seems to be the band's driving force regarding creativity, but Holsapple's conventional tunes are just as impressive."  Reply

"He's kind of an R&B Lorde. Sparse instrumentals, infectious melodies, lyrics come from a young place, husky delivery. He just doesn't have the same detail in his songwriting that Lorde does.
