    Here, the presence of a harmonium updates some lava lamp pyschedelic freakouts, David Axelrod's jazzy grooves and the feathery female harmonies of The Free Design, whose Chris Dedrick provides sleevenotes for the vinyl. [Jun 2009, p.101]

    What they bring to the table is a living, breathing sence of the organic. [June 2009, p.109]

    Harmonium could quite easily have been a sterile exercise in musical pastiche. What The Soundcarriers have turned the album into is a living, breathing entity that restores the listener's faith in music.
  4. No Ripcord

    Harmonium is as sunny and affable for outdoor get-togethers as it is sexified for one’s swinging bachelor pad.
