Influences "Wonderfully addictive melodies that are amazingly catchy and cool...Brilliant clever pop from a unique perspective. The more we spin this one...the better it gets." ~ Babysue and LMNOP.com

"This bundle of squelchy, fuzz-dipped pop boasts winsome appeal in spades... Industrious work on the sonics—the free-form progression and the strange, though pop-savvy, textures—supply the cerebral attraction." ~ Barry Lenser (Pop Matters)

"Nowhere in this collection does Palmer aim for the lowest common denominator - his songs are smart and savory, absent of straight-to-the-chorus structures as he eschews hooks in favor of narrative development and adventurous movements within each of the tunes." ~ Jedd Beaudoin (Copper Press)

"A compelling collision of styles. Both intriguingly cryptic and intimately confessional." ~ Christopher Bahn (The Onion)

"Digitized neurotic pop bliss." ~ Nathan Dean (Pulse Magazine)

"One of the new tunes, "Parade Around," is actually the Socks' best track to date, a pretty, ambient-whirring pop gem." ~ Chris Riemenschneider (Star Tribune)

"Seemingly created for quarter-life crisis sufferers who have emerged from their medicated fog and realized they're all grown up." ~ Chris Gantz (City Pages)

"A captivating journey through rock’s neurotic outer edges. The group’s highly-digitized panic-pop gets under the skin instantly." ~ Rob Van Alstyne (Pulse Magazine)

"Seeing the band is a soothing experience, though I don’t mean to imply that they don’t rock." ~ Zosia Blue (Howwastheshow.com)

"The fantastically titled "Dr. Lawyer" is a deceptively simple pop song... until you realize the beats are as intricate as those on a Justin Timberlake record." ~ David Brusie (Rift Magazine)

sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past .. stop planning the future .. stop trying to figure out precisely how we feel .. stop deciding with our mind what we want our heart to feel and sometimes we just have to go with "whatever..happens..happens"

dear socks. as of this week, there is an RV selling mexican food six blocks directly south of my house. which is much closer than austin. i have yet to bless it with my patronage, but i have little doubt it will be phenomenal and i will stumble home in a state of guacamole induced deja vu.

yesssss.

A brutal night of original music, and a chance for fans to lay down their support for live broadcasting of independents in the twin cities. Tonight, March 2. Kitty Cat. It won't be the same party without you. Hockey gear optional.
