    EAR PWR were once a band that refused to tie a tie or recite the silly rule--it could be annoying, but at least they were being themselves. Here, they prove how hard growing up can be.

    Their music now comes wrapped in gauzy textures more reminiscent of local hero Toro Y Moi. [Jul 2011, p.111]

    EAR PWR have concocted a gorgeous chillwave gem. [Jul 2011, p.115]

    Basically, if you're gonna stop telling jokes, you'd better have some kick-ass drama up your sleeve. On Ear Pwr, they're only half-way there.

    On its own terms, Ear Pwr is a record that, while occasionally poorly structured and a little draggy, offers a rapturous sundown forestfull of perfectly nice pop nuggets, and perhaps the most unexpectedly 'normal' album of the year; a breakneck jolt and a right-turn for the conventional.
