"She Lives" listed on Radio Free Silverlake's top ten best local albums of 2007 in Los Angeles.
"Nightfur (in their own words) are influenced by “space, girls, and the past.” Rarely has a band described themselves so correctly—She Lives is the result of obsessive study of classic songwriting, combined with a tastefully deployed talent for production. Apart from a clear knack for melody as well as admirable attention to detail, there is an intriguing undercurrent of desolation and menace throughout, adding considerable depth to what would otherwise be fairly straightforward songs. This disparity is put to captivating effect: lush Motown harmonies are layered on top of sinister guitars; a melodic bass line becomes ominous beneath snarling distortion. Nightfur has succeeded in producing a record that is stylistically cohesive yet still musically varied and above all easily accessible..." -- THE DISTRICT WEEKLY, LONG BEACH, CA
"It's hard not to fall for Nightfur's recently-released debut She Lives, what with its winsomely melancholic heart, smarty pants lyrics, and fuzzy 60s psyche pop sound...
It's one of those rare albums where you have a difficult -- but pleasant -- time picking your favorite track from its numerous charmers..." -- RADIO FREE SILVERLAKE
"There is an unspoken network of tight, smart indie rock bands in LA, of which Nightfur is a major player. She Lives is an excellent example why, with whispers of Dylan, The Beatles and other classics working their way seamlessly into the modern rock aesthetic. Stand out tracks like She Was Right and Break of Day are reminders that while lots of bands are currently trying to copy a classic rock aesthetic, Nightfur chooses to resurrect it and redefine it, which is good." -- JON HERSHFIELD, ISGOODMUSIC.COM
"It is alive here in Los Angeles. It is kicking. And few bands out there kick with the soul of the boot like Nightfur. They thread an energy into their live act that makes the show as fun to watch as it is heard. They dig what they're doing, and it's evident as lead singer Jason Brown thrusts and violently jerks to the rhythms in step. They make rock and roll dazzle and come to life with spirited vocals reminiscent of the 1960's British musicians—those that invaded us while our fathers slept in fear of what their children listened to on those god damn L.P.'s." -- PSYCHEDELIC LA UNDERGROUND
Hey Jason, We know you are a busy man but we are playing Echo Curio tomorrow (in case you wanna stop by around 9:30...) Aaron from RHP filling in on drums
Yeah! Definitely going to try to make the spaceland show! Thursdays are usually good, provided stupid work doesn't interfere...which it's been doing a lot lately.
Listened to the whole album at Jesse and Lindsay's the other day, and it sounded pretty damn good. How's everything? Any show coming up soon? We need to play again. Cheers, Aaron RHP
