"Rarely has a debut album sounded so fresh and endearing — without your suspecting the writer copped somebody’s songbook — as the morning benders’ "Talking Through Tin Cans." -Kevin Bronson, LA Times
"The very youthful looking band manages to convey an early Beatles sense of optimism with sweet undertones. Expect big things from them in the future." -Kyle MacKinnel, Filter Magazine
"This Bay Area band manage to appropriate Pavement's smirking shamble to their own lovesick, non-smartass ends." -Stephen M. Deusner, Pitchfork Media
"The youthful quartet, who've been successfully campaigning for the title of SF's new indie rock darlings, charmed their way through their early Beatles-y repertoire for their first big Noise Pop show so winningly we could almost hear the Wonder Years voiceover as they left the stage." -Melissa Goldstein, Spin Magazine
"This group has no shortage of hooks and crescendos, and with a lighthearted indie pop style familiar enough to capture anyone's attention and enough creativity to hold it, they stand out from their peers." -Kimberley Chun, San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Sort of like a real morning bender, except a lot more catchy and a lot less likely to make you eat something greasy for lunch." -Stereogum
