Clippings:
"On their sophomore release, Literal Scene, Plagiarists quote so many sources in such effective ways that...it becomes startlingly clear that a new voice is being created." City Pages (8.08)
"I love the Television-guitars on their song "Church." There is a weird mix of styles here and an angularity which I really enjoy. The glockenspiel-riff mixed with the guitar is nice; good bass and vocals too. Modern rock without being boring. Especially the way they arrange the guitars are impressive. Like the pretty lo-fi sound." Peter Moren, Peter Bjorn and John
"['Church'] reminds me of cutting class & taking off in a borrowed car with the windows down, speeding through mostly-empty roads in September when the weather is crisper than summer and you're on your way to meet someone for tea at an old bookstore." Amanda Palmer, Dresden Dolls
"The sophomore release from this quintet of recent St. Olaf grads combines twitchy guitars, lissome xylophone and keyboard fills, and big-riffed choruses to create an enticing blend of highly accessible indie-rock." Metro Magazine (8.08)
“Literal Scene marks the band’s departure from looking outside themselves for influence and boasts confidence in their new identity. " Northfield News (4.08)
”Their rhythms are crisp and jaunty bouncing around well-crafted lyrics. The plays like a cold winter's breeze slicing through a humid summer day. It is refreshing and completely unexpected." - What To Wear During an Orange Alert. (6.08)
"We've listened to this song on repeat for about the last twenty minutes (my, aren't we compulsive) and every time, we get completely caught up in the first two minutes... It's completely engrossing and completely wonderful... These guys kill." - Culture of Me (6.08)
