    Guitars and keyboards take varying paths through each song, gathering for dynamic swells that grow overwhelming, and overlapping in ways that only appear to be serendipitous. There's nothing neo- about this band's psychedelia.

    Terrific, genre-flipping from Seattle collective. [Jun 2011, p.92]

    Marble Son is a tough cookie and won't cheapen itself for your affection which, naturally, makes it even more lovable.

    Instead of exploring their sound and growing more dexterous over time, Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter have backed themselves into a creative corner on Marble Son--with a sound so austere it becomes tedious instead of heady, tentative instead of revelatory.
