David A. Cobb of the Houston Press:
"Down the Stairs is all about the guitars — Jonathan Espeche and Michael San Luis work in tandem to create walls of sound and atmospherics interspersed with inspired, wailing solos, and Flowers to Hide is in top form on "503," the low-key "Sometime Maybe Never Again" and "Lady Snow," an '80s throwback that immediately brings to mind any number of big-haired English new wave bands from that era.
Ryan Clark, theskyline.net:
"Down the Stairs was recorded by Steve Christiansen at Sugar Hill Studios and it sounds absolutely brilliant, shimmering and kinetic. This record sounds like nothing to come out of Houston in years; full bodied, swaggering without staggering while both delightfully un-ironic and un-pompous. It's a full wall of sound, stocked with a sedimentary system of sonic textures so deep that an almost wasteful amount of its nuance is lost if not given the good speakers/headphone treatment.
We stick by our earlier assertion that we're reminded of early Ride when we hear this record, in that it completely envelopes you with cumulus guitars that flood your surroundings like the noise of the cityscape flooding into the open windows of a punk rock BMW barreling down the highway."
hey guys, we hope you can make it out to our show tomorrow night (monday that is) @ boondocks.
