Sounds Like

"Spiderette is a mature, confident album filled with wonder."
–Alex Cook (Paste, Wire, Oxford American)

Spiderette is 225 Magazine's number 1 most intriguing Baton Rouge album of 2008.
–225 Magazine

"Beck meets XTC."
–spin.com

"Really smart pop from Baton Rouge, Louisiana; classic songs mixed with moments of weirdness and overall a killer."
–usatoday.com

The Still Beat selected as number 1 most intriguing Baton Rouge album of the 2005: "Pop Genius....Norris' complex arrangements and melody shifts make this more of an ensemble piece than just one man pouring out his pathos into a jambox."
–225 Magazine

"Harlan seems to cover a mini-spectrum from my travel case, each song finding a referent in my late 80s music explorations.... (including) Charlatans UK, XTC, The Feelies"
-Music Spectrum

"The Still Beat is one of the freshest (if not THE freshest) pop albums released in the past year."
-Lexington Project e-zine
