   About kris racer


"Sweet, shaky vocals and delicate acoustics define Racer's release, which will appeal to fans of early Built to Spill, Halo Benders, and, incidentally, dozens of other bands that play this type of purposefully off-kilter indie pop. Racer is perfect mixtape material for beginning an imperfect courtship: tender lyrics, sensitive (but mostly out of tune) harmonies, casual screw-ups and an alluring sort of underdog vibe leave their stamp boldly throughout all the songs." - Austinist.com

"Psych-pop noodles its way inside to this indie pop cleverly written composition. Tagged and dotted with songs about career life and ho-hum relationships, “...Has a Banner Year” is an ambitious self-look deep inside that is both inviting and encouraging." - Smother.net

"Kris Racer plays sweet acoustic pop, the type of heartfelt music embraced by sensitive boys with shaky voices around the world." - Onion A.V Club

"The songs have a seriously Posies/Elliott Smith-ish pop bent, all jangly and nicely polished and slathered with beautiful harmonies, and Racer's voice meanders gently in and out of the guitar lines, mostly steady and calm but occasionally working up to a barely-concealed bit of bitter anger. Tracks like "Sharper Than Knives," with the delicate guitars and sweeping vocals, the minimalist, Sebadoh-ish "This Is Your Emergency," and "Lesser Ways of an Office," with it's somewhat speedier, countryish tone, amble into the room with a soft smile and a shrug and just do their thing, and for the most part, they do it right." - Space City Rock

"Kris Racer shows a rich uniqueness with lyrical content and an interesting take on the modern singer-songwriter genre." - Culture Bunker
