"A low roaring feedback wraps the entire record in a fog, dense at some points, but often precious…haunting but somehow comforting. The ambience is that of an empty dark house in a light-wooded area of permanent night, pulsing with echoed memories. A chill wafts in through broken windows and the sad sonorous ring of a neglected piano shunted to a corner mixes with a lonely brass blaring like a lazy wind rolling over the roof, with tightly snapped acoustic strums like the raindrops falling through a network of floorboard cracks rippling the moonlight's reflection in the basement's gathered puddles." -DEEP CUTZ
"...like Animal Collective live from the Honky Chateau... his passion for music and art has gone unscathed... Scheurman gets his ghost on, singing haunted freak-folk that would probably sound awesome during that one sweat lodge scene from the third season of Lost." -DETOUR
"Alan's unique vocal styling shuffles between hushed soft spoken realizations and the adventurous poignant visionary rants and ramblings witnessed in Akasha. Exploration continues throughout the tracks with time given to wandering yet somehow unifying horns and space for deep sacred meditations." -DETROIT AS A PORTAL
"The psychedelic-folk blueprints laid out in Rodriguez's classic "Sugarman" — a musician and his guitar out in front, with art-rock orchestration sculpted around it — basically comprise the foundation of Old Patterns.Scheurman's voice and guitar strumming are fragile and old-fashioned against the record's recurring ominous motifs of bassy horn blasts, reverb and noise. The juxtaposition, as strange as it may sound on paper, makes for a chilly but quite sweet record." -METROTIMES
