| About Dallas Orbiter |
There's a certain timelessness to Dallas Orbiter's adept space rock, which sounds like a long-lost prog nugget from 1973 and the best new album of 2011 -- sometimes in the space of the same song.
Ross Raihala - St. Paul Pioneer Press - Top Ten Local Albums of 2005
The only band that really twinkles, locals Dallas Orbiter mine space rock for uncommonly funky and atmospheric grooves--all while still writing recognizable pop songs (see "It's Not You--I Just Need Some Space" in last week's City Pages). Put another way, their new Magnesium Fireflies (Princess Records) sounds kind of like a bunch of 1960s visionaries who dumped drugs to embrace science as their principal source of wonder and elaborate love metaphors. Or maybe they embraced both.
Peter S. Scholtes - City Pages
According to Einstein, matter and energy are essentially the same. Given the massive body of evidence presented on Magnesium Fireflies, DALLAS ORBITER employ E=MC2 as adroitly as any stiff who ever donned a lab coat. Luckily, for all its radiance, the Minneapolis-based quintet's debut album is radiation-free; its innumerable explosions exhilirating as champagne bubbles. Britpop elegance, garage rock torque, one of the nation's most colorful sonic palettes, melodies both hooky and exotic--the band's inspired intergalactic pop would be a big enough deal even if they didn't go around turning sound into light.
