    Elephant Shell is like a summertime record, easy and stress-free. [Spring 2008, p.92]

    No shocks here, but a laudably short and sharp effort. [June 2008, p.94]

    This is probably my choice for the most underrated album of 08. This had some insanely catchy songs (Juno, In a Cave, IMO). I'm shocked this didn't make many people's Top 10 because it's such well-made and satisfying little gem. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for true indie-rock album.… Expand
