"The Fear and Trembling is a Brooklyn post-rock combo whose name comes nowhere near to describing its warm, melodic sounds. Imagine a mellow funk band playing My Bloody Valentine songs and you’re getting there."
--Time Out New York
"...neo-Nashville psychedelia..." -- Decider New York (Onion AV Club)
"i guarantee you that you wont find a better record with a mix of prog rock noodling, southern fried twang and space rock like swirling guitars, all year. me thinks a band’s gotta have a lot of balls to not only have the second track, “the octopus” on their debut record top out at just over 10 minutes long, but to actually pull it off with the greatest of ease is a both a testament to musicianship and all around awesomeness."
-- Captains Dead
"...this is a side of twang with an orchestral ambiance and class to it. The music isn’t all a dream, and there is a boastful swagger to their Southern rock, a level of cockiness and brash sound. But this larger-than-life quality in their work... only enhances its more basic qualities. The real treat is what lies beneath that sound. There's a tension of sorts, and perhaps some kind of expectation. It's the power of the unknown that is the most appealing. ... What you'll hear is honest and emotional and well-written... rock-heavy songs teeming with gorgeous open spaces."
-- Consequence of Sound
"It's obvious from the outset that the Fear and Trembling are something spectacular, a band smitten with pyrotechnic swagger and orchestrated opulence. This (Brooklyn) outfit demonstrates oversized ambitions and creative designs which ... propel them into celestial realms entirely their own."
-- Performing Songwriter
"(TFAT) are consummate sonic craftsmen, adding nuance and verve to hard-hitting but melodic psyche-rock. Just imagine an unlikely lovechild between Comets on Fire and Brian Wilson and you may be getting close... but these guys are just too wonderfully complex to pin down."
-- GimmeSound
"...beautiful and awe-inspiring. It’s anyone's guess as to what you’ll hear on the next song but it’s guaranteed to be inviting and refreshing. (The Fear and Trembling) has the ability to create a song that flows like ocean waves with highs and lows but it’s all connected. It’s a smooth ride on Octopus from beginning to end."
-- Comfort Comes
"TFAT pack their 60 minute debut full of elaborately arranged orchestral rock tunes. The band makes good use of the piano and strings like cello, violin and lap steel to add some extra dimensions to each song and the band's musical chops are obvious as every note and chord seems to have been chosen with care."
-- Brooklyn Rocks
"The Fear and Trembling make messy indie rock with just a pinch of southern charm... (They) provide listeners with a nineties-loving brand of rock music that should scratch the itch of anyone who wishes they could hear a My Bloody Valentine- Neil Young collaboration." -- Short and Sweet NYC
