The SoCal foursome blends together a unique mix of folk, pop, and psychedelic rock to create a sound that is both familiar and new...Constantly experimenting with multi-layered harmonies, arrangement and instruments, the result is always interesting."

"The Fling bring a concisely excitable form of indie-rock to the table...With elements of classic ’60s pop, ’90s alternative, and contemporary indie-rock clashing fluidly to create a strangely nostalgic effect...If Ghost Dance is any indication, they could be making a sudden surge like White Denim by year’s end."

- Mike Mineo (Obscure Sound)

"It’s truly something amazing when a band can invoke the spirit..and..completely own their own sound, their own groove. The Fling does so with a seeming ease and grace, laying down their songs with a command and ferocity tightly leashed by their musical passion and ability. Releasing their EP at the Prospector last Thursday, The Fling put on an absolutely mind-blowing show."

-Chesney Higgins (LA Record)

"They’re faithful disciples of the rock canon and its eccentrics...“The Breaks” is laid-back, feel-good rock that’s light on its feet and as smooth as an Elliott Smith B-side. The beautiful, multilayered vocal harmonies and ambling gait on “Lonely Fool” tips its moptop to mid-’60s Beatles and Beach Boys. The ambitious “Strange Ideas” sounds like Gram Parsons country-ing up Abbey Road. “Get Back” is a velvety ballad with the diaphanous melodic contours of the Left Banke. Finally, “Cold Comfort” returns to the Beatles’ hallowed 1969 LP, with ominous yet alluring chord progressions...The Fling are competent craftsmen working in the tunes-über-alles rock tradition."
