"The album arrives at the post-Animal Collective juncture in the indie-rock timeline, when eclecticism, experimentation, goofy aliases, fuzzy beards, funny outfits, and Brian Wilson worship have largely supplanted angular haircuts, garage-rock roots, and musical minimalism. A number of artists have lately assimilated the former aesthetic and applied it to loosey-goosey hippie jams and free-form freakouts, but this Philly sextet doesn't mess around. They are dyed-in-the-wool art-rockers (dare we even say straight-up prog-rockers, without offending some post-punk purist's delicate sensibilities?) who have obviously soaked up the lessons of British avant-rockers Henry Cow, American classical composer Charles Ives, and yes, Brian Wilson's legendary art-pop suite Smile, well before Panda Bear made it cool to do so."
