If Librarian's Stranger were a novel, it'd be a page-turner about the numb and the beautiful, with the bite of Bret Easton Ellis, minus his bleakness. At a tight 11 tracks, the album delivers dark disco elements, synth splashes, swaggering guitar licks, and insistent drums anchored by deliciously indifferent, deadpan vocals.

Nothing lulls on the 11-track Alright Easy Candy Stranger; each song overwhelms on its own while energetically and seamlessly driving forward to the next.
-Magnet
Is this a joke? Imagine Gary Numan fronting Les Savy Fav. These guys did, and still it didn’t put them off making this plodding, lifeless bore.
-Harp Magazine
I listened to this while eating my dinner of eating pizza and drinking root beer. All I heard was some really annoying guitar.
