    Since the band cooked up an excellent 12 songs in only a few weeks last year (which they made available as a free download titled the Last Day of Summer), it should come as no surprise that the laboriously constructed follow-up is a masterpiece.

    This is an album which bears repeated listening, and which deserves to become more than just a summer soundtrack; but rather one of those releases that can be revisited again and again, with each listen revealing new details and delights.

There are songs that sound great and gives you hope what to expect in the future, but then there are songs that try too hard reach a wide audience. Ultimately the White Denim fanatic you want to be is tamed by some D's repressed tunes.… Full Review »

    Ten really good, really well-performed psych-country-jazz-prog-garage rock songs with little to no cohesion among them, almost as if the band just presented their record company with a slew of songs & said, "Here, pick your favorites."… Full Review »
