    I listened to this album over and over again, it kind of lulled me into another space. It's gentle, a little melancholy and full of wistful dreams. I think you have to sit quietly with some albums to hear the subtler moments, and then receive the richer rewards.

    I also saw them last night with Sarah McLachlan (Halifax show), and they were very good. My best friend bought the CD and had them sign it too.

    I saw the Perishers last night with Sarah McLachlan and I think that they are very talented. I really enjoy their music. Their first album is good as well.

    Yea, so it's not the most original or musically challenging album in the world, but it still offers some great, chill songs, perfect for listening to late at night or on a rainy day......

    I Think this is a band that focuses on writing about life experience vs what peopel want to hear. Making them genuine and very talented. real....

    The Perishers fail to elevate their brand of minimalism beyond the politely unobtrusive and fatally unmemorable. [Apr/May 2005, p.149]
  2. As simple and dopey as Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning, only sleepier.
  3. Coldplay comparisons are instantly apparent, but you get the feeling that these guys aren't going to end up with movie-star girlfriends.
