"A first listen reveals very brisk, metronomic and bright pop music laced with subtle flourishes of horns and peppery acoustic guitars that dance along with the lovely vocal melodies—very cool, quiet little songs. It's often reminiscent of mid-'70s Kinks with that delicate modern indie sound that the kids love. Sensitive boy stuff this, not dissimilar to a brittler Spoon or even The Walkmen. Throw some Beach Boys' "bah-bah-bahhs" over key parts and there you go. This one was like a wine review, no?"
- Eric, 75 or Less (July 2007)
