"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
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.
Love the new EP, team. Great work. Can't wait to see you and my twin sisses at The Tank! Formal request: please play "Girlies". It will make my dreams come true.

Hi it's Justin from the Whistler a couple weeks ago. Once again, great show and I've really enjoyed the cd. Hope the rest of your tour goes well and I hope you pass through Chicago again soon!
