   About KapOw!
"When the touring company of The Fiery Furnaces swapped out Toshi Yano for ex-Sebadoh plucker Jason Loewenstein, they sacrificed a bit of swagger and versatility (Yano was second-chair keyboardist)... qualities were transferred to Yano's new band Kapow!, whose comic-book sound-effect name foreshadows their era-influence of choice, (but) avoids being nostalgia-drunk by DeLoreaning a blippy synth into the garage; harmonized bored-slur vocals and isolated feedback bursts cloud up the sunny-day lyrics. A reminder that pop always saves the day, and indicates Yano absorbed more than a little bit about playfully skewed refractions of rock history from his former employers." - PITCHFORK

"IRRESISTABLE." - Jon Pareles, The New York Times

"A wall of sound that'd give Phil Spector shivers." - Jersey Beat

"Fresh, vibrant." - Fluxblog

"A breath of fresh air..." - You Ain’t No Picasso

"DANCE!" - Awreye
