“The second EP from Champaign, Ill.’s Santa solidifies and tweaks the band’s brand of infectious, psychedelic indie-pop. Throughout the six songs, Santa shows a distinctive sound while allowing room to experiment with song structure and textures.”
-Casey Bye, Express Milwaukee
“…the dudes in Santa succeed, where so many other like-minded bands have failed, by actually finding a compelling melody…My Bones is thrillingly pleasant; without any real peaks or valleys, the record rolls on in its singularly mellow way, accumulating meaning and weight the farther it goes. I highly recommend that you find a copy of My Bones and spend some serious time with it.”
-Adam Angiulo, StrongWordsINC.com
“[My Bones] is a lovely little affair full of laid-back summer jams that evoke reminiscences of late afternoons on the beach and the long light of summertime… The recordings are tight and polished ... and the whole thing is a decidedly professional outing for a band still a bit wet behind the ears.”
-Derek Davies, GoodWeatherForAirStrikes.com
