"Here's to a blinding light we thought we had lost, New Canyons. Andrew Marrah and Adam Stilson are a duo who have dug there way out of the trenches and onto higher ground. These members have been in a handful of great Michigan bands. Struggling to keep their groups together, they decided not to. New Canyons are on their own terms with something completely different to bring to the table."-Detroit Music Review
"NEW CANYONS members Adam Stilson and Andrew Marrah previously found voice with Lansing-based band VEGA, whose moody atmospherics left plenty of room for powerful post-punk dynamics. NEW CANYONS explores a more insular electronic territory that still delivers cathartic emotional content. Rumor has it they are soon to ship off for a certain major city in Illinois."-Scene Metrospace
"There have been so many acts who appear to be leading the 80’s revival that it’s occured that the last year there wasn’t an 80’s revival was actually in 1989. No matter, New Canyons are a Chicago-based act who have clearly been influenced by the most melodramatic purveyors of synth pop but their take on it is strangely likeable."-Leonard's Lair, United Kingdom
"The latest album from the electronic/rock band New Canyons begins with a single piano painting an almost ominous picture as cold and repetitive strings float over the top and the “intro” begins to build. Only lasting a minute and a half, the intro to “Strife, Struggle, & Fire” subtly prepares the listener for the dark and chilling sounds ahead. However, as “Dressed to Kill” kicks in for the second track the tempo is slightly more upbeat, but the mood remains sullen. New Canyons, through out their album, build complex but enjoyable electronic rhythms that consistently shift, grow and retract, giving the album a fuller sound than I was anticipating. This is much more than bedroom pop, New Canyons have a sound build for stadiums and songs like “Heart Transparency”, “We Could Drive”, and “Life Support” sound as radio ready as anything I’ve heard lately. This is really the perfect collection to match the chill in air with cold pulsing basslines, glitches, and soaring guitar solo. The album was available for free download through the month of September, and is currently available through cd baby. -Deli Magazine Chicago "CD OF THE MONTH"
