| SELECTED PRESS:
"Spanish Prisoners are a band I've been meaning to write about for a while, as I thought their debut, Songs to Forget, was one of the more underrated (and underheard) albums of last year... Los Angeles Guitar Dream, which is a bit different than what they've done before but is pretty great, especially the ethereal-yet-dancey title track." -Brooklyn Vegan
"It's his thoughtful songs, with intricate lyrics and a production aesthetic that favors electronically-tweaked acoustic sounds, that led to a slot opening for John Vanderslice."
-Paste Magazine's NYC Band of the Week
"...the three eye opening tracks on LA Guitar Dream, but that indescribable feeling of discovering something new, that excited tickle in your gut that flares up when you think of where these boys might be when their next album rolls around..."
-I Guess I'm Floating
"All you indie kids looking for meticulously constructed pop songs to queue up at your summer barbecues should take note: Los Angeles Guitar Dream may just be your dream come true."
-Tiny Mix Tapes
"The title of the song signals what's in-store; tremolos, ethereal waves and dreamy vocals. That's pretty close, but there's something unexpectedly fresh and clean about the sound of Spanish Prisoners...But these Brooklynites own each syllable as they nod to legends like Roxy Music and Siouxsie & the Banshees"
-Surfing on Steam
"the three-song EP that resulted was a pronounced creative leap for the band..."
-NYC Taper
"A sort of hybrid between Last Shadow Puppets, Grandaddy & Lifted era Bright Eyes, Spanish Prisoners are quickly becoming one of my most cherished local acts."
-The Music Slut
"Maymind delivers the lines with a voice that sounds as if it’s gazing, as if it’s made out of eyes that are big and wet and longing for a spring morning that it will have to wait a decently long time for."
-Daytrotter
"This mix of charm and tonal ambiguity laced throughout the three tracks makes for a very enjoyable ten minute listen that easily tempts the clicking of the “repeat” button."
-Stereoactive NYC
"Los Angeles Guitar Dream is filled with enough ideas and promise to gather deserving attention."
-Adequacy.net
"Wonderfully unorthodox and quirky, Spanish Prisoners have unleashed upon an unsuspecting public a collection of damaged indie rock tracks guaranteed to make you smile. "
