Sounds Like"An impressive beast bubbling with dramatic hooks, alluring textures and a bundle of smart electro rock tunes." - Jim Carroll, The Ticket - Preview

"Polished, stylish pop music... a supremely impressive debut album." - Lauren Murphy, Eircom.net - ****

"This is one album that you have to add to your collection. You heard it here first, Dark Room Notes are your new favourite band." - Steven O'Rourke, Cluas.com - 9/10

"Let’s cut straight to it - this album is a real peach." - Andy Hamilton, Clare People - 8/10

"Slow-burning classics, era-defining in their craftsmanship. Complete with Ronan Gaughan’s suave lyricism, this is an album of almost cinematic sophistication that deserves plaudits far beyond these shores." - Johnnie Craig, Sunday Business Post - ****

"The album release marks a huge progression for the band, with 2009 promising to be the year DRN will be making a massive splash on the scene. With a debut album sounding like this, I'd imagine the bookies have stopped taking bets." - Glasswerk.co.uk

"With intricately formed songs that just plain shouldn't be this catchy, these guys have found an exhilarating groove and to top it all off, they're not afraid to exploit a good pop hook." - Celina Murphy, Hot Press - ****

"One of those records for savouring when daylight disappears - songs for when you're going out and others for when brooding is the priority. It's piled high with synths and effects, but, unlike many, DRN never forget about the hooks." Harry Guerin, RTE - ****

"This foursome are distinctly non-Irish in sound and for a band so new (despite seeming as though they’ve been around much longer thanks to their extended stint on the live circuit) they have managed to create a musically flawless record." Lisa Hughes, State - ****

"Energetic, seamless and full of melody, these guys make this whole thing look damn easy" - Kieran Dineen, Evening Echo - ****
