“…a wonderful new alt.rock CD….crunchy, earthy, sour-pop…a welcome blast of well-constructed, invigorating alt.rock. The record, which instantly evokes comparisons to Dukes’ acknowledged influences Sparklehorse and Will Oldham’s alter-ego Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (as well as contemporaries The Rosebuds and Deathray Davies), is a triumph of sparseness. Its blend of softly-strummed rhythm guitar, minimalist keyboards, chiming electric guitar leads, driving—but understated—drums and the occasional brass instrument cameo, also recalls the output of a handful of seminal ‘college’ artists of the ‘80s and ‘90s, like Barbara Manning and—at times—the softer and more wistful side of They Might Be Giants. It’s a real sleeper.”
