"['Indoor Camping'] is a good "pick-me-up" album. Everything about it will put a massive grin on your face; whether it be the childish sounds you hear, or the undeniably fun sing-along choruses, all is nice here. So grab a pal, blast this, and have an experience that the ol' Danielson Famile would well aprove of." - Aerophones & Aeroplanes
"A super rock-powered kindergarten sing along album" - Douglas Scheider
"Blanket Truth combine ukulele, beatboxing, and Jon Manning's falsetto vocals to achieve something like the Unicorns' demented bedroom pop." - The Stranger

MY NAME IS JON MANNING I want to borrow your musical equipment and play shows in your living room, right before we have a slumber party and watch many dvds back to back. Sometimes there are people playing music with me, sometimes there are not. Lately it's been a lot more people than usual.
