    City Lake is a stunning, humble record built on traditions we all understand, yet, somehow feels dizzyingly new.

    City Lake is a more physical offering [than Tomorrow Was the Golden Age], but no less beautiful.

    City Lake is a glimpse at the raw materials before all the splinters have been sanded down--and it is all the more exciting for them.

    Three bonus tracks included with the re-release are almost as good, though they stretch the album to a daunting 75 minutes. City Lake's main effect is to make you appreciate the charms of its successor all the more. Its main effect, but not its only one.

    City Lake is a stunning testament to indie classical music’s growth as a movement entirely of its own.
