"…the band hit the stage and got right to work. TAO’s sound hovers in the triangulation of Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse and Echo & the Bunnymen, with Berlin connecting the dots. The band built steadily from mid-tempo to pulsating crescendo pretty quickly and their engaging Indie Rock/Synth Pop found a lot of fans in the fairly sizable audience."
-Brian Baker – City Beat – 9/26/09
"The members of NYC’s The Aviation Orange have mastered the art of blissful, atmospheric indie-pop—no song on their recent self-titled album is without a healthy dose of sanguine synth, delay-heavy guitar, and infectious male/female vocals. But that doesn’t mean the band plays spaced-out shoegaze either; the tight-knit rhythm section adds a post-punk edge that propels the songs relentlessly forward. The likes of The Cure, New Order, maybe even some M83 are evident in the songwriting and the band also has its own sonic signature, with subtle layers of ambient noise and feedback hovering under the hook-laden melodies."
-H Magazine – 9/20/09
"Mixing sounds of The Cure and your favorite garage rock indie band, The Aviation Orange have a hit in the making here. Everything comes together to create a very atmospheric sound that’s tight and engaging."
-Under The Gun Reviews
"...these musical super heroes have created nothing less than a masterpiece. 5 out of 5 stars." - Swift Reviews
"I could easily be pinned as one of those people who like to claim ownership of bands, or at least their discovery. You know, one of those a-holes that’s always like "Pshaw, I listened to them like 5 years ago." And here I go again with The Aviation Orange, a Brooklyn-based band that I’ve seen KICK ASS live."
-Adri Leya, Happy Blogtime
"The Aviation Orange releases slinky electro fried recordings with melodies that stick to the insides of your skull like saltwater taffy but then bloat it like something pulled from the wake of the SS MBV"
-August 2009 Indie Artist of the Month – musiczeitgeist.com
“The Aviation Orange has created a fun and exciting sound that music fans will easily fall in love with.. (the band) tells colorful stories through their music.”
-Isaac Davis, JR (Junior’s Cave)
“Think a brainy indie rock Duran Duran in Dickies.”
