Peel injects a searching intelligence into the equation... It's brilliantly phrased, and signals this album's cerebral consciousness of time and place that, by virtue of the obvious fun of the actual music, steers well clear of smarm, condescension, and self-congratulation. The contrast between this persistent, although intellectually justified, nihilism and the actual sonics produces a delightful tension, and for Peel hardly shortchanges the bombast. Austin Sound, May 2007

Lip Service:
Bursting with feel-good energy, hooks and crazy-catchy melodies... a collection of perfect, heart-thumping pop songs. NPR - All Songs Considered, (Robin Hilton) July 2007
Beautiful mess of a debut. Magnet, (Steve Klinge) July 2007
A warped power-pop sound combining lots of guitar fuzz and other noise with bright, catchy melodies. KEXP, (Don Yates) March 2007
You can't go wrong with a bunch of jolly honkies from Austin who play tight pop songs smeared with fuzzed-out keyboards and caustic guitars. It's like Stephen Malkmus and Belle & Sebastian adopted a litter of wiry, freckle-faced redheads and, instead of receiving severe beatings for the rest of their lives, the kids were taught how to play slacker twee tunes that don't make you feel gay for listening to them. Vice, (Lamar Livingston) April 2007
This is exhilarating stuff which gravitates towards greatness the more you play it. Pop Matters, May 2007
Austin noise-pop quartet Peel's debut album subverts its catchy pop tunes with slatherings of lo-fi tape grot, feedback, tape loops and needling keyboards ... these 11 songs are so charming in their exuberance and playfulness that charges of lack of originality are pretty much beside the point. All Music Guide, April 2007
Peel is a new must for any dance party playlist. The Eagle, (Hanna Grene) February 2007
Their debut is packed with ideas and ambition. These songs rock with a full-tilt experimental energy. eMusic, April 2007
One of my favorite memories of the Guero's show is us all standing under those tents with the lighting crashing all around. You guys rocked. Hope to see you soon.
we should all makeout together. just fyi, we're back to 3 dudes in the band, so depending on who shaved recently, could be some beard on beard action. and then there is allison. sweet allison.
