"The Sunflower Spectacle's music is melodious, tweaked with experimental riffs that take you on a psychedelic trip with a modern day 60's music feel. Their lyrics are poetic and delivered slightly raspy, their music invokes feeling, creating the effect of listening to The Sunflower Spectacle is an experience all by itself.... "

""This is seriously impressive lyrical genius from PA. Band isn't even signed yet, and they're on the come up for sure, seeing as this album is amazing. I don't usually listen to indie rock/folk/pop/rock/whatever, but damn. I mean, this shit is creative as all hell and every song is like a tiny masterpiece. The band sounds massive and endearing at the same time, like you're watching a big group jam out but it sounds personal and fragile at the same time..."
