Influences
at various points in the songs i guess we sound a little like talking heads, pavement, deerhoof, paul simon, yo la tengo, a few ideas from dfa, wilco, silver jews, there's this one bit that's supposed to sound like animal collective and, that reminds me, the harmonies on one song are sort of ripped off from panda bear (only nowhere near as good of course), jim o'rourke, richard thompson, there's a couple of bits that are really influenced by athur russell, but you probably wouldn't say it sounds like athur russell. i mean, we all like the beach boys, neil young and stuff too and you can probably hear that. maybe a bit of pixies, certainly some early r.e.m., you know, the usual. i'm pretty into jens lekman again, like last summer.

"Jesus h. Foxx probably get laid all the time" skinny magazine
"both modest and wrong" list magazine
"an undeniably good band" skinny magazine
"amalgamates The Modern Lovers’ apathetic composure with the rhythmic deviancy of Pavement" drowned in sound
"staggeringly assured, the skeletal guitars and anti-harmonic, shouty vocals a superb counterpoint to the almost tribal, jam-session-like drumming" lots of random words
"They've stumbled in cross-eyed in the smallest hours, spilling stomachs all over newly laid carpet, crucified face down in a serene stupor when the curtains are open an hour later" transparent magazine
