   About I, Colossus

I, Colossus features music written by Matthew Sandstedt. Matthew plus Michael Sandstedt, Mat Johnson and Scott Johnson make up the I, Colossus line up. A record is due out in Late November.

5 for Sighting in 2008 (Local Pick) - "[I, Colossus] is an off-kilter collection of bedroom pop songs topped off by Sandstedt's sometimes haunting falsetto. This sort of music is prime fodder for college radio" - Ross Raihala, St. Paul Pioneer Press

"...[I, Colossus] melded a good chunk of the awkward pauses and off-kilter song structure of Modest Mouse with a bit of Voxtrot...we felt like we had stumbled on a little lost nugget of the city's music scene" - Pat O'Brien & Stacy Sandstrom of Howwastheshow.com

"...from a scientific standpoint, I, Colossus is an unequivocal triumph...the instrumentation is technically impressive and succinct and the compositions themselves would make for compelling theoretical analyses" - David Watnick, The Michigan Daily

"As the band swims through a sea of computerized bliss, the various bleeps and bloops morph into delicate strains of electric guitar and then devolve back into the deconstructed electronic lines...the crisp beats, lush harmonies and piercing guitar work all come together in an airy and uncluttered fashion...I, Colossus is a surprisingly mature album" - Chris Dorsey, The Badger Herald

"Minneapolis’ indie scene never ceases to amaze, and [I, Colossus] is certainly no exception...I, Colossus’ self-titled debut is playful, experimental and, most importantly, fun" - Matthew Perrine, The Duluth Budgeteer News

WIDR-FM's TOP 5 - "I, Colossus makes an interesting blend of pop and electronic music that is smart and chill...[their] brand of electro-rock pop will be a great way to start off the new year" - Jessica Kizer, The Kalamazoo Gazette
