CYHSY is at the best point in the lifecycle of a band: un-styled, simply produced and deserving of the hype for what is -- quite possibly -- a nearly perfect album.
-
When they began their self-titled debut, they were uncertain kids from Brooklyn making a record from all the music they had ever known. They’re leaving veterans of the game with obvious talent and colossal potential.
-
An album which will force even the most hardened listeners to throw in the towel.
-
So once you get behind the relatively unobstructive and emotive voice, what you have is the sound of NYC circa '77 pushed through the ramshackle indie filter.
-
Under The Radar[An] exceptional debut. [#11, p.109]
-
[Ounsworth's] weird quirks do grow on you, especially because the music backing him is so solid most of the time.
-
Sadly, [Ounsworth's] lyrics are a letdown.... When the tunes are this good, it certainly feels like a wasted opportunity.
