"Nine songs. Well written. Impeccably played. No fuss, no hassle, just wholehearted honesty. This, my dear Incendiary reader, is an indie delight...It’s the closest thing I’ve heard to Stephen Malkmus in years, only easier to digest. Wonderful stuff."
- Incendiary Magazine

"a sweet spell of country-tinged and harmony-heavy rock"

It is a surprisingly full and lush listen"
-West Coast Performer

"Glorious keyboard melodies buoy the elliptical riffs in a sort of post-surf-rock brilliance."
