Kind Words
LUD- "the album—which encompasses vintage indie rock, classic rock, funk, punk, even Krautrock—feels cozy, a little funky and very lived-in. V has a timeless sound- it's also timely, fraught with economic anxiety and political protest." Brian Howe- The Independent
TRANSPORTATION- "like a moment of time captured in amber and lit in a soft (rock) glow. The 10 tracks luxuriate like honey, laconic grooves radiating outward, spreading warm sticky melodies everywhere. The sweet, swelling splendor lingers like lavender, a lush aroma that seems too big to have been made by the three men of Transportation." Chris Parker- The Independent
DAWN CHORUS - "elements of the soaring indie-rock of the 90s combined with the structure and tone of classic singer/songwriter music. Dudek’s songs lean towards the former while Mull’s head in the other direction, but it’s undoubtedly the work of the band that laces the whole album with a consistent sound, no matter who is singing. Live, they’re an equally engaging band that spaces out its pieces and follows some enjoyable paths, but Brian Paulson’s production has distilled their songs down to their pristine best." Aquarium Drunkard
HUNDRED AIR- "a wonderfully rich album of timeless sounding power pop. Both in bio and in sound, Hundred Air references and recalls bands like The Beatles and The Shins. This is a delightful record that shouldn't be missed by anyone who truly values songcraft, quality production and the type of melodies that get stuck in your brain and don't leave for days." Pop Matters
*SONS- "droning guitars, heavily delayed vocals and a drunken swagger that verges closely on psychedelic drug rock. It's hard to deny killer guitar riffs like those heard on wall-of-sound rave-ups... Brian Jonestown Massacre meets Pink Mountaintops." Lazy i
WORK CLOTHES- "gentle folky music, laced with dark strands of psychedelia, invites comparisons to two other spouse bands, Ida and Low" Salon.com
ROBERT DEEBLE- "stripped down, subtle affair sounding roughly like Low performing snail's pace versions of Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day'". Americana UK
ALINA SIMONE- "The six songs on this beautiful debut obsess over capturing minute physical details." Magnet
THE WINTER BLANKET- "There are records that will get far more attention than this, but have nowhere near the same shining content." Comes With a Smile
V/A- We Could Live in Hope- A Tribute to Low- "A tribute in the best sense of the word, We Could Live in Hope reflects the best in both Low and the bands paying their respects to them." All Music Guide
V/A- Preserve, Volume One- "spotlights an absolutely stellar assortment of musicians...and best of all, the musicians all contribute truly exceptional songs. It's a stand alone creation with its own unique, tender mood." Erasing Clouds
