"Tomorrow's Fossils" LP Press
NPR
"Instead of relying on a couple of offbeat songs to demonstrate a more experimental bent, Loxsly often blends familiarity and new ground within the same song, making for a more intriguing concept."
NPR's All Songs Considered
Magnet Magazine
Austin Chronicle
"...a contemporary, local triumph."
Flagpole Magazine
"Melancholy without being despondent, cute but not sentimental, simultaneously hi-fi and lo-fi—Loxsly has managed to balance seemingly opposing aesthetics to create an odyssey of experimental pop"
allmusic
Austin American Statesman
"sweeping, cinematic rock album with a rich sound combining vintage production tones with strange arrangements and synthetic sounds.
"
New York Press
Americana UK
"a collage of sounds that fits together in a way that is more than the sum of its parts, sounding as it does like Sebadoh, musical theatre, experimental electronica and pop music.

"Flashlights" EP Press
Said the Gramaphone
"A continuous loop. Though something is different every time."
Absolute Punk
"a tiny bit dark, a huge bit emotional, and thoroughly enjoyable."
Americana UK
"Carrying the torch for good songwriting
"
If You Want to Sing Out
"...easily one of the best EPs of 2008!"
The Daily Texan
"Loxsly appl(ies) a dark, underwater sonic treatment that isn’t flashy or in your face, but draws the listener into a carefully constructed world filled with thick, buoyant bass lines, swirling organs, and shimmering piano runs."
Austinist
"ripe tunes with mature piano melodies"
Austin Sound
"Loxsly’s unique approach to indie pop-rock has given them the ability to rise above in a saturated genre."
Detour Magazine
"Their sound hearkens back to a time when the indie rock was still just a little alt., and even their relative quirkiness is quaintly familiar."
The Austin Chronicle
"Loxsly's Flashlights EP floats higher and lighter, abetted by pedal steel on opener 'Lamprey Eels' and piano on 'Chopper,'"
Instrumental Analysis
"Quite a pop-melodic treat."
Flagpole
"Loxsly’s four-song EP is a tightly produced and concise effort. . . . Loxsly’s driving mid-tempo rock is tinged with a slightly more haunting charm reminiscent of My Morning Jacket and The Flaming Lips."
DC Rock Club
"What I like about Loxsly is they straddle the line between familiarity and originality; they're catchy."
