    Lightbulbs shows the same attention to sonic detail as its predecessor, but the four also love words as much as objects.
  2. Under The Radar

    Fujiya & Miyagi remain situated somwhere between rock band and electronic dance act, and are perfecting a sound that is uniquely their own, regardless of what influence is visible in their sleeve at any given time. [Fall 2008, p.75]

    At their indie-disco feyest they can elicit comparisons with Hot Chip, but Lightbulbs trips the dark fantastic in its own deadpan style. [Sep 2008, p.110]
