“Light in August are the latest indie sensations to have burst out of the ever eclectic and increasingly vibrant Ann Arbor scene” (01/09).
Brett Callwood of MetroMix
"The mixing of melodic sweetness and rhythmic fight seems to work for Light in August, resulting in one of the more invigorating local pop discs of the year" (09/09).
Scott Bragg of The Metro Times
"This Ann Arbor/Royal Oak-based quartet has got the goods, my friends. Insightful lyrics, mellow harmonies and featured flute player, there's not much more you could ask for in a band" (03/09). Emily Rippe of The Current
"As the band's name suggests, its earthy pop sound does in fact evoke a pleasant summer afternoon" (07/09). Bob Needham of AnnArbor.com
“It would behoove you to give Light in August a more-than-serious look. Their laid back brand of pop rock just sounds like, well, summer. With a blend of soul grooves and Brit chops, and a well appreciated knack for the hook, this foursome will stick with you well into coat weather".
Nick Degel of The Detroit Fashion Pages
“Light In August makes smooth and crisp sounding soul-pop with McCartney-esque narrative vignette lyrics; blending esteemed folk styling (think lush Bryter Layter Nick Drake) into stately, shimmering prog-rock interpretations. Marvelous rhythms supplement a dream-pop romanticism melded with pedal-fuzzed instrumentals".
Jeff Milo of The Real Detroit
