"This is gorgeous. This is great... This record makes me believe in the future of music."
- Coke Machine Glow

"Ghost Town works on so many levels at the same time it almost seems unfair... one of the finest releases this year."
- Delusions of Adequacy

"The first song Ghost Town Part 1 is like being struck by lightning. It feels good to know you’ve experienced one of the greatest most intense and visceral moments in pop music history - but It also hurts. Possibly the best thing I’ve heard - ever."
- Cyclic Defrost Magazine

"There's really no scene that you could file this album under – Friel is out there on his own. As such, the best tracks on Ghost Town feel like revelations, like new ways of communicating shared musical ideas."
-Dusted Magazine

"While Ghost Town lacks the archness of LCD Soundsystem or the full-pelt charge of Holy Fuck, its dizzying shifts between harmony and simmering white noise, and Friel's playful but intense layering of contrasting sound textures make it the equal of both."
- The Wire

"Dan Friel’s accomplished Ghost Town comes as an unexpected surprise.. the record’s eight tracks–equal parts noise and melody–are cobbled together using lo-fi and 8-bit electronics; seven of them are incredible."
- XLR8R

"The music he ends up with sounds like little else out there, a heaving mass of static beats, monolithic distortion, and bending, diving tones.. a unique and uncompromising sound that ultimately transcends its limitations."
- Pitchfork

"Strange and wonderful, and best of all, unlike anything else we can think of."
- Time Out New York
