"Man when I listen to this album I was really impressed. Even after being in this industry for 25 years, the band can learn new tricks and actually impress us.

"Stand by my girl was hysterical. Probably lyrically my favorite. The first 4 tracks had some really cool sounds to them from that whole 70s era sounds. Somehow this album didn't really take off for me. Like totally ok, not bad at all, but also nothing special."  Reply

"After listening to this album, it is a vast, atmospheric album that is both somber but also beautiful in design. Recommend it to fans of albums like Harmony in Ultraviotet or Virgins from Tim Hecker or Birth of a New Day from 2814."  Reply

"Really like this album...vocally it reminds me a little of Juliana Hatfield back in the early 90’s whilst some of the guitar riffing has that hypnotic Stereolab quality. Love the track Minnesota!!!"  Reply
