"Now don’t ask me who they sound like or anything else along those lines. I’ve been trying to pin that down since I clicked play, but nothing is germinating in my mind. It’s just good. Simple as that." -that's this world over 2-2009
"And yet, live, the band sears and soars to a place all its own, to create one uniquely Gigantic Handprint."
-John Norris, The L Magazine 6-2009
"Reminds me of something between Grizzly Bear , Bishop Allen and The New Pornographers ."

"I wonder if you know this feeling: You're like a building with the foundations blown out, still upright but all the struts and supports weakened, all the everything ready to go, ready to collapse. You feel like that; hollow. You go down to the subway and stand on the platform feeling grey and paper-thin. The ventilation shushes. And then suddenly, thwackkkkkkk, a subway-car slams into the station, slaps into the station, flies past you volatile & violent and it's like you've just been shoved. You rock back on your heels and realise: I'm still standing. You take a breath. I'm still standing. // Anyway I wonder if you know this feeling. (I haven't felt it in a long time.) Gigantic Hand do. "SuAnne Big Crow" is a song of a hundred station-slams, a hundred heel-rocks, four shoves per bar. But you're still standing."
-Said the Gramophone 11-2008
"Their music is grounded in solid fundamentals: rhythms, melodies, and harmonies that actually work. With a solid foundation they’re free to expand and experiment, and the end result is something that sounds new, but in a good way." -pop culture will eat itself 2-2009
"I gave this a courtesy listen two weeks ago and haven’t stopped listening since. It’s a cool, relaxed album with driving undercurrents of intensity and intention. Playful guitars feature throughout, layered on wickedly precise, occasionally marshall drumming. Falsetto and vocals just at the break contribute to the album’s pleasing insistence."
