In the three years since
I’m Sorry For Ever and For Always, vitaminsforyou’s Bryce Kushnier has been
doing something right . . . The Legend of Bird’s Hill is nothing short of a
quiet miracle [and] might just bridge the gap between Telefon Tel Aviv and
Broken Social Scene on your iPod.

Watch for VitaminsForYou to
take over the world in the near future.
-Mote Magazine (Canada)
[The Legend of Bird’s
Hill]’s flight is convincing, not to mention a great deal of fun.
-Grooves (US)
melodious laptop wiz
-SPIN Magazine (US)
programming genius
-Exclaim (Canada)
I’m sorry forever and for
always is the soundtrack for any slow news day, the electronic equivalent of an
afterglow.
- Magnet Magazine (US)
Vitaminsforyou’s digital
reworking of Greg MacPherson’s “Churchill” … is one of the best tunes of last
year.
- The Georgia Straight
(Vancouver)
an enchanting mix of
emotive keyboards, glitchy everything-but-the-kitchen sink percussion and
ambient atmospherics … Techno, anyone?
- Vue Weekly (Edmonton)
[vitaminsforyou]’s muddled,
faintly transmitted Ambient melodies and processed vocals loosely fall together
after a fashion that suggests either imminent collapse, or a haphazard
adhesion. That neither occurs conclusively is a testament to [his] juggling of
the various parts which make up this off-kilter sometimes surprisingly benign
music.
- The Wire
through his honest delivery
and delicate ear for pop arrangements, vitaminsforyou manages to wrangle a sound
all his own.
- The Mirror (Montreal)
It is so soft
and warm and emotional, yet also progressive and innovative, full of beautiful
melodies and impeccable sounds and structures. Like waves of a warm sea washing
over you, with gentle beats and creative sounds and samples. Vitamins For You
might has managed to produce the first electronic “emo-“album ever.
–Cracked
I'm Sorry Forever and
Always is something of a mixed bag - but one you want to continue routing
through for surprises. This is like the schizophrenic young cousin of an unknown
folk artist who discovered a vocoder in a grassy knoll while writing in his
diary.
–Igloo Mag
Vitaminsforyou . . . jumps oh-so-drunkenly between the foreground and the
background of your thoughts, cutting away from musical preludes and quiet,
andante movements into insistent beats and single vocal phrases that repeat
themselves until they form a golden, latter-day hymn.
–Stylus
Magazine
While many electronica
artists focus on structures and sound combinations, VFY is radically different.
Their sense of melody is pushed to the bones and the structure of the songs are
blasted in melodies which makes you totally disoriented during the two first
listens of this incredible album.
- Le Bonheur, Album of the
month
I’m sorry for ever and for
always is a sublimely human album, perfectly and lovingly so, which is what
makes it so precious and special
– Night Life Magazine,
Album of the Month
