Editorial Reviews

Amplifier Magazine, June 2004

"...electronic moods, muted tones and lush yet sparingly applied sonic textures...startlingly fresh..."

Product Description

The acclaimed debut disc from this semi-electronic quartet features "All the Arms Around You" and "Des Moines" (both heard on Fox's "The O.C."), plus a haunting 21st-century cover of Bruce Springsteen's "State Trooper".

4.0 out of 5 stars quintissential post-2000 indie rock, November 5, 2004

If you like the Postal Service or similar bands, you'll like this. Top notch structure, very catchy (All the Arms around You rivals the Shins for pure hummability), with the sort of laid back vocals that are impossible not to like if all you want is something to chill back to.

This seems short, but there's not that much to be said. All the songs are solid, they vary in speed but none are ultra slow or ultra fast. Great music to serve as background to any laid back activity.

why this album isn't available on this online marketplace is beyond me, lets be honest, this album is incredible. if you're a fan of love cars, or dave king or anything resembling good tunage, than this is the album for you.

This review is from: Halloween, Alaska (Audio CD)

I was given a copy of this cd just a week before Halloween Alaska played at the club I am a sound engineer at. Since my very first listen of this album, 5 months ago, it still remains my favorite album of all time. Many cd's come and go out of regular rotation in my cd player(s) but this album has never lost it's appeal to me. It is beautiful in more ways that I can comment on. I can only imagine what the next album will do to me.
