"This Northampton-based collective make indie rock the way the kids used to, pre-white-belt emo and Hello Kitty cute, with abraded minor-chord guitar accents underscoring singer/guitarist Dennis Crommetts unpretty, rumpled-guy laments about hopeful arrivals, reluctant departures, and missed opportunities. In other words, theres much to like about this debut full-length. The stutter-step rhythmic advances that drive "Tonight We Take the Palace" sound like a Versus/Number One Cup double bill; the breezy buzz of "Yellow Yellow" is Crommett fronting Velocity Girl or Papas Fritas. The slow "Septembering" glows with atmospheric, late-afternoon gloom. Despite its clocking in at nearly seven minutes, the best thing here is the artfully wrought "Kissing Music," a blissful memory scrapbook that borrows Lunas eye for detail and poetic license: 'Remember when the record played so good on the phonograph/It had such sweet lips and a scratchy, sexy laugh/You had just returned from China with a sigh/You took pictures of the vinyl Chinese sky.'" (Boston Phoenix)
very impressive sounds....I like the writing, the playing, the arrangements and the engineering.....hopefully, I get to see you live sometime in the near future
