Sounds Like"F*cking Brilliant!!" ~Jon Langford (The Waco Brothers, Mekons)

"beginning to end a brilliant journey of exploration and song. Released this early in the year, it sets a seemingly impossible bar to surpass for the year in music to come." ~ Austin Music Magazine

"The band does a terrific job of balancing their arty and rock-y elements to make post-modern Americana music that isn't rooted in old-school traditions but yet has not gone over the deep end into avant-garde noodling either." ~ Michael Berick, All Music Guide

"Phonograph's multi-layered alt-country songs will hit you the way Wilco's 'Misunderstood' did a few years back. If 'Misunderstood' didn't hit you, then we don't know what to tell you." THE L MAGAZINE

"These guys rule with an homage-heavy fist, and welcome you to indulge in Americana at its finest, where you'd swear that Tom Petty and Lou Reed were hypnotized by that weird dude from the Eels into writing Grant Lee Philips next record. I'd buy it." ~The Deli Magazine

"Debut albums aren’t supposed to be this strong. This is the equivalent of a freshman acing a graduate level course." Marquee Magazine

"As far as loopy, spacey Americana goes, you could do a lot worse than Phonograph. The New York group's self-titled LP borrows from all the usual suspects but does them proud with arty left turns that keep you on your toes." ~TIME OUT CHICAGO

"Phonograph is going to be one of the best bands to come our way in a long time."~BLACKBOOK MAGAZINE

"Phonograph makes folk songs dressed up in a warm. fuzzy electronic blanket. While a lot of bands that try to accomplish this sound unwelcoming and cold, Phonograph makes raw, organic tunes that would sound right at home at an alt-country festival and an indie-rock event." ~New Haven Register

"If Summerteeth meets Tom Petty is your thing, you've got a new favorite band." ~Silent Uproar

..REVIEWS OF PHONOGRAPH'S DEBUT RELEASE

"Incorporating elements of electronic music, jazz and British shoegaze, and using improvisation and samples of "found" noises, the members of Phonograph create a unique, complex sonic landscape. PASTE-APPROVED: AN ARTIST YOU MUST KNOW." - PASTE MAGAZINE

"Phonograph explores new ways to play old music."-HARP MAGAZINE

"FOUR STARS"~UNCUT MAGAZINE

"Phonograph's self-titled debut sounds surprisingly assured for the work of such a new band. Balancing out synths and pedal-steel with a twangy roots-pop sensibility, the disc impresses with both the depth of its songwriting and the impeccable musicianship that backs it up." -David Dye, NPR WORLD CAFE

"If you want a piece of contemporary Americana, that puts most current artists to shame, this is the album for you." - THEPLUGG.COM

"One finds it hard to believe this record is the band's debut; it's that good. With 13 killer cuts, Phonograph is one of the freshest acts to hit the scene in years." - AMERICAN SONGWRITER MAGAZINE

"Vocalist/guitarist Matthew Welsh sounds like a throwback to Bob Dylan before modern times impaired his pipes." - MAGNET MAGAZINE

"Debut albums aren't supposed to be this strong" 4 out of 5 stars - MARQUEE MAGAZINE

"beginning to end a brilliant journey of exploration and song. Released this early in the year, it sets a seemingly impossible bar to surpass for the year in music to come." - AUSTIN MUSIC MAGAZINE

"The Velvet Underground escorting the Bottle Rockets around lower Manhattan"-AUSTIN CHRONICLE

"One of the most consistent and stellar debuts in recent memory, the group has taken a step towards ensuring young artists may one day be labeled “the next Phonograph.” - POPMATTERS.COM

"From the wild foreboding of “Normal Illinois” to the barroom haze of “Plates On Sticks,” Phonograph delivers a savory appetizer of their full-length fare."-AMPLIFIER MAGAZINE

"There's a knowing cool to this abbreviated follow-up to Phonograph's auspicious debut ... an atmospheric excursion that's consistently mesmerizing."-PERFORMING SONGWRITER
