The Spires have crafted a perfectly delicious, evenly keeled forty-plus minutes of pure bliss. (L.A. RECORD)
Ventura's The Spires exceed at pleasantly melancholy indie pop that I frequently find myself loving like my heart was on fire.

The Spires have finally released an album that has generated the kind of critical praise the band deserves. A Way of Seeing shows a band with deep roots and proper influences. Ultimately, the release finds the band exploring new ideas as they maintain a trademark analog sound. (WEST COAST PERFORMER)
Ventura three-piece the Spires have been spreading their Anglophile wings in SoCal for a about five years, their sweet indie-pop recalling the days of C86 and earning deserved comparisons to the likes of Luna, Belle & Sebastian and Robyn Hitchock. The effortlessly melodic “TAM” — available from iTunes with a remix version and another great song, “Teapot” — teases the band’s second full-length album, “A Way of Seeing,” due in March. Based on this, it can’t come soon enough. (BUZZBANDS)
The Cali trio has been kicking around for a bit but the lovely blend of UK guitar pop, New Zealand jangle and indie rock scruffiness they dish out makes them worth checking out anytime. (ALLMUSIC GUIDE)
"A Way Of Seeing" is clearly the work of a group with no small amount of potential, and the Spires seem to be on their way to making something of their obvious talent.
