New record “Pale Fire” is every bit as good as any of the other currently hyped shoegaze bands like Film School or Amusement Parks on Fire...(The Sound of Indie)

Resonates like a glass of old-school absinthe. (The Huffinton Post)

"a bliss driven slice of ethereal elegance"(Losing Today)

"Creates a sinful surrealism." (Beat Crave)

the band makes songs that are so ethereal and delicately noisy that human comprehension just might be too much to ask for....(First Coast News)
