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.
(RADIO FREE SILVERLAKE)
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)

Man. Yesterday I pimped your T-shirt at my work and I got A LOT of compliments. Customers wondering who and what are The Spires are. I told them, "You haven't lived until you've heard The Spires."
Hey guys, I am a friend of Lights On and I was at Soda Bar taking some pics. Check this link out for some cool photos of your band. You guys sounded great that night and I am looking forward to seeing you down here in SD again. http://davidangelo.zenfolio.com/p649626771
We are in love with the "Ballad of The Spires"!!! "A Way of Seeing" is Album of the Month as of now in "Otra dimensión", Spanish public radio, www.rtpa.es
Hi Spires! My girl absolutely loves your t-shirts. Infact, she brought it to Costa Rica today. could you please bring more t's to your Echo Curio show? I want to get her another one. Plus if you have anything recorded too.
I got the newie yesterday- thank you! It's amazing! Possibly unrelated- I had a dream last night that I was playing a show with you in Davis- like, in a small classroom off a hallway in UC Davis. It being a dream, we never got around to actually playing & lots of random people milled around but still it was good to see you two again. The record is truly wonderful.
