"It will break you in two immediately and you'll do nothing but fall fast in love with Ann Yu's vocal shouts and calls, the crunchy guitars and the driving, heart-pulsing backbeat. It's emotive and aching and we can't seem to shake it." (CultureofMe.com)
"Sounding at times vocally like a more laid back Karen O and with an early 90s shoegazey feel, fans of My Bloody Valentine should find something to like. In William the sound is bolstered by the occasional throbbing bassline and urgent repeating drum fill which adds more immediacy to the impending swell."(Q Magazine)
“Full-throated indie along the lines of their hometown heroes The Killers in their pre “are we dancer days, or a rougher edged Howling Bells, this also has a hint of a dark country rock edge, like an answer record to one of Ryan Adam’s more anthemic moments.” (NME)
“These San Fran types roar out of the gates with their delightful and defiantly soaring pop songs. Ann Yu’s vocals beckon and seduce like a siren, while the crystalline musical shell around her builds and solidifies. 'Signs' is a definite highlight, with its haunting vocal climax.” (DrownedinSound.com)
"Ann Yu has a real presence and they are obviously not afraid to put their and soul onto a record and let it pour out." (Huw Stephens, MusicWeek)

I do not know if this one has been cropped to much on the right side. Amazingly had a big discussion on this pic in the room while I was trying to put it together. I think I failed on the arguement as this is the cropped version ......... I guess I need more sleep ...........
