UncutAug 26, 2011Terrific, genre-flipping from Seattle collective. [Jun 2011, p.92]
-
Aug 9, 2011Marble Son is a tough cookie and won't cheapen itself for your affection which, naturally, makes it even more lovable.
-
Aug 9, 2011This is a complex, fascinating record that punches the shoulder for attention.
-
Aug 10, 2011Guitars 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.

Aug 9, 2011Wandscher (an original member of Whiskeytown) drives the ship with riffage ranging from gently atmospheric to snarling quasi-metallic. Still, it's Sykes' voice that impresses.

Aug 12, 2011Instead 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.
