Infectious energy masks their complexity, so instead of thinking about the unconventional time changes you just focus on the unbridled enthusiasm. -Fritz Hahn, The Washington Post | 5/13/09
One of the most elaborate and expansive pieces [Everything Is Working Out Fine In Some Town] the local independent rock scene has produced in recent memory. -Dave Paulson, All The Rage | Nashville, TN | 6/12/08
Impossibly upbeat, Nashville's Parachute Musical make some of the most entertaining, high energy piano based pop in the country...pop craftsmanship at it's finest. -Viva Indie Rock | 11/23/08
Perfect pop songs. -Jennifer Whittam, UR Chicago Magazine | 6/26/08
If there's another indie-rock band with a conducting-capable member among its ranks, we'd love to meet them. Bananas. -Nicole Keiper, The Tennessean | 11/12/07
Foster and Gilbert have a chemistry that's featured in fluid, challenging and structurally unusual tunes. Their music is personal and intense, a reflection of such Foster favorites as Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright, and his desire to pen tunes that recall events from his life. -Nashville City Paper | 09/13/2007
..a brainy brand of piano-pop that's classically complex but warm and inviting..Parachute Musical seems set to make the little triumphs of 2007 look like a mere warm-up session. -All The Rage | Nashville, TN | 12/6/07
Josh Foster did manage to incorporate impressive piano prowess into his smarm 'n' charm, but he didn't manage to wear any shoes. -The Spin, The Nashville Scene | 5/31/2007
With the romp of the Decemberists, the piano-plinked fabulae of Ben Folds and exactly none of the twang of Music City, Josh Foster and company negotiate the line between sweet-natured charm and cloying pastiche. -Roy Kasten, The Riverfront Times | St. Louis, MO | 2/1/2008
Take Ben Folds, Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley, spike their beers with Ritalin, and you'll get something akin to this mixture of lyrically emotional, piano-heavy pop. -The Roanoke Times | Roanoke, VA | 3/7/2008

Heyy! :) you all probably dont remember me but me and my sister were the ones staring at you in hot topic in the jefferson mall (KY). but yeah, just leaving a comment to tell you that i think im addicted to your music. :) (which is a good thing. :) )
As a fellow musician I can say I truly appreciate what you guys are doing for music, I love your stuff. You need to come somewhere around the Knoxville area so I can see you live.
I have every Parachute Musical song stuck in my head at once! no joke. Awesome times this past weekend. Can't wait to do it again! Love, Duncan & Hammer
Okay gang, I'm headed to Canada tomorrow. Not nearly as exciting as what you guys do, but thrilling for me. So while I'm not watching you better all behave. Especially that NEW guy, or I may just have to spank him on his ass (suggested by you lot) -- whoops! things just may get too weird. Anyway, you all know that I'm joking. Love, MOM
