Nice Things People Have Said About Us:

FROM CMJ.com

Feb 20, 2009

Story by: Joe Puglisi

The band of the week is a three piece from Brooklyn who like typical things like a whole lot of guitar, synth and noise. However, they play an atypical type of indie rock, where layers of sound coexist with natural sounding melodies. Most sound-heavy art rock tends to wash out vocals with heavy layers and ignore basic chordal structure, but these rockers know how to mix the two for a cocktail that tastes like equal parts Arcade Fire and A Brief Smile. The drama of the tracks match the intricate fabric of noise crafted; the kind of music where you have to crank up the stereo to hear all the juicy details. My Other Friend is the product of Andy Simmons, Holly MacGibbon, and Eli Luntz. Check out their first EP, The Noise in Our Heads, and keep an eye out for more recorded material later this year.

From Hype Machine:

"Demise of the Good Son from Brooklyn's My Other Friend perfectly incorporates the drama of Arcade Fire with the irony of Belle and Sebastian. The 3 minute 50 second track from the The Noise in Our Heads E.P. features some amazingly fractured boy/girl harmonies and an urgent indie rock melody that will have you singing along before the halfway mark."-Christopher, The Hype Machine/My Big Mouth Strikes Again View the Posting here

From musicsnobbery.com:

"... I stopped by Luna Lounge to pay a visit to My Other Friend who are getting started in the wild and wholly Crooklyn music scene.... Now the pressure is on the describe their music. Let's see, they're like The Decemberists as filtered through starry-eyed early-60s pop music. Add in some boy-girl vocals and some wicked piano parts and you get the vibe. As a telling sign of where they are coming from, they did a cover of Buddy Holly's "Ready Teddy" in honor of the 49th anniversary of his final performance. You see, true music snobs know that fact. People after my own heart. By all means, give patronage to my crew and listen to some tracks off their self-released LP, The Noise In Our Heads... If they make a name for themselves, you can say you saw them here first."-musicsnobbery.com

From Baker "The Blog":

Music That Didn't Bore Me: '07

BEST ALBUM THAT CALLS INTO QUESTION ONE OF MY CORE BELIEFS

My Other Friend – The Noise In Our Heads "I suspect that the following image would cause this band to throw up in its collective mouth, but when I listen to their music, I see pretty, hipster-ish girls wearing polka-dot sundresses and dancing ironically to 50’s pop music. This is not exactly my version of Happy Gilmore’s midget-on-a-tricycle, but it’s close. What I’m getting at is that listening to MOF makes me happy. Despite the fact that some of their songs are genuinely melancholy, and that all of them feature a violin (the culturally agreed-upon symbol for sadness), listening to them makes me happy in the way that watching Empire Records makes girls happy. The only other music that has that effect on me is certain tracks by Yo La Tengo and anything played by the University of Wisconsin marching band. I have a long-held belief (and an even longer argument, which I will spare all of you here) that all worthwhile art is ultimately about pain and loss. I’ve never let the existence of counter-examples convince me that I’m wrong, though, and this album is no exception. I may love it, and the first track may fill me with the urge to watch Grease, but I will never admit that being happy and being right are different things."-Baker http://www.bakertheblog.blogspot.com/

From The Deli Magazine:

"My Other Friend's album "The Noise in our Heads" is packed with orchestrated boy/girl harmonies and with all sorts of sounds coming at us right from their Brooklyn basement (we assume they have one). Their classic bubblegum pop voices on "Anthony" make us want to sing along, and "Demise of the Good" makes us think of an indie version of the soundtrack from "Grease". There is a wonderfully hypnotic quality to this music...Recommended for fans of The Decemberists and Arcade Fire" - Carla Cubit, The Deli Magazine
