Endings 2007 Sold Out


The Projectionist 2006/ SOLD OUT





It’s almost like a minimalist version of The Sunlandic Twins, propelled by drum machines, loopy melodies and rhythms that can be danced to— Very cool.
- Silent Uproar

Each track has a unique feel and keeps you interested. . . The music is comprised of a well blended mix of synths, drums, and guitars. . . The whole album is worth listening to through and through again.
- RVA Magazine

If you find my metaphor to be baffling and or abstract then you may want to stop reading here. . . This is no retread of well-worn 80s synth pop territory. . . We hear the future in this album, and we want more.
- The Hypepipe

Overall, the album balances entertaining pop with an experimental edge that brilliantly refrains from sounding trite.
- 75 or Less

Amidst the electronic haze and stumbling pulse of percussion that builds the atmosphere of Endings . . . there are enough woozily sweet melodies to please the most casual listener as well as the most discerning.
- Diversions

I asked them to play at my birthday party . . . and they said no.
- God
