"I’ve been spellbound by this CD since the first time I heard it. It’s a different form of transportation...maybe a full-moon ride in a small boat...charting its course by way of the constellations outlined by Richard Thompson, Gene Clark, Tom Verlaine, the Velvets, but the mood is its own, and it’s a mood you don’t really want to pin down...something like wonder. The songs are catchy and played with precision and restraint, so there’s room in them for you to look around. The most welcome new CD I’ve heard in a long time."

C'est une forme différente de transport... peut-être un tour de plein-lune en petit bateau... dressant une carte son cours par les constellations décrites par Richard Thompson, Gène Clark, Tom Verlaine, the Velvet Underground, mais l'humeur est son propre, et c'est une humeur que vous ne voulez pas vraiment goupiller en bas... de quelque chose comme la merveille. Les chansons sont entraînantes et joué avec la précision et la contrainte, tellement il y a pièce dans elles pour que vous regardiez autour. Les la plupart font bon accueil au nouveau CD que j'ai entendu dans un long temps." Mike DeCapite, auteur Through The Windshield
