Editorial Reviews

Review

"Genre-blurring squiggly synth rock" --The Austinist


Product Description

"The Black And White Years deserve comparison to the Talking Heads in the way they elicit quirky embellishments and innovative arrangements while retaining a catchy, tap-along pop feel. Vocalist Scott Butler invokes the David Byrne way of stuttering as he sings" - Austin Music Magazine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hidden treasure, July 21, 2009
I love this album, and I can't believe how hard it is to find and how few people have heard it. These guys have an indy-pop-Austin-rock sound. They have a similar "feel" as Spoon. I don't do record reviews (until this one) but I couldn't believe there weren't any kudos much less reviews for this album so I thought I would remedy that. There are some fun songs, catchy riffs and just good music. Sample a few songs and see if you don't agree. It's perfect music for tooling around Texas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, I love finding bands like this, August 23, 2009
Austin Music Magazine is by no means the definitive source on music but they summed it up quite nicely with: "The Black And White Years deserve comparison to the Talking Heads..."

If that by itself doesn't intrigue you, I will add that this album has so many layers and complexities while retaining a pop/dance element that makes for an entertaining listen and a very fun live show. Buy this Album, thank me later.
