Sounds Like The good word ––

"In the band's hazy, floaty, post-TVOTR-maybe conceit, post-punk grooves, soaring soul harmonies, and classic indie detachment join forces for something beautiful, infectious, and damn-near indescribable."
- Christopher Weingarten, Village Voice Yes In My Backyard

"Focusing in on the tension between a charged post-punk drum-and-synth-bass rhythm section (Alex Smith and Nathan Tompkins respectively) and the combined vocal talents of manic frontman Carlos Hernandez and a trio of startlingly gospel-voiced backup singers, the combination is fresh and invigorating and, live, posesses a magnetic appeal."
- Nate Dorr, Impose

"Front man Carlos Hernandez, with his blue-eyed funk holler (calling to mind Beck at his most lustful), caroms through songs like an evangelist. He’s buoyed by a haphazard rhythm section (Ethan Bassford and Alex Smith), stiff-legged synthesizers (Nathan Tompkins), and a trio of shimmering backup singers (Sihuen Song, Becca Kauffman, Felicia Douglass)."
- John Ziegler, QuietColor

"It’s absurd that such a unique and irresistible sound has managed to stay under the radar for so long."
- L Magazine, Best of NYC 2009

"Most exciting new band (so far) of 2010"
- Zach Baron, Village Voice Sound of the City

Congrats on the new EP.  We pumped it in the car the on a nice sunny day, very enjoyable. We saw that bad review you guys linked, so funny.  Our two comments on a recent review were, "Old News" and "New York sucks, get over it"    Looking forward to The Tank.
