“Footnotes in the City Lights is a quirky infusion of beat-ridden indie rock and subtle pop sensibilities. Exceedingly catchy guitar melodies dance nimbly over tight percussion, and Spice’s curiously soulful vocals and standout lyrics resonate fully throughout it all. The album is speckled with Sonic Youth-esque walls of sound bits, adding to the complex textures that provide innumerable layers on the record.”
- Jen Kessler, speakeasymag.com
“Each song on this record has a strange, casual swing to it like the rocking of a boat or the calculated steps of a drunk after a night on the town... Lead singer Scott Spice's deep, rich voice has qualities reminiscent of Pavement's Stephen Malkmus and Pedro the Lion's David Bazan. His vocal tone breaks up smoothly when pressed, like a fine vintage amp. His straightforward delivery sounds intentionally tired, as if the weight of the words he is singing poses a magical ability to strip years off his life.”
- Matthew Toledo, Athens Musician Network
"On their debut album, Casual Future gets into character as musicians from the slacker set, slinging well-penned quips filled with cynicism and absurdity, while keeping pretty level heads. It’s a well-balanced act owing much to lead singer Scott Spice’s almost ho-hum delivery, dancing drunkenly over lyrics finely calculated and clever."
