MagnetOct 18, 2013Taken all in one sitting, the dashing Mole City is both way too much and way too little. [No. 103, p.60]

Sep 30, 2013Once it's clear that anything can happen, the lack of a common sound makes each track an exciting new proposition, allowing the listener to feel a sense of discovery despite the fact that they've been listening to Quasi for as long as two decades now.
-
UncutNov 1, 2013It's an LP that gets through more ideas than most indie bands can manage in a lifetime. [Dec 2013, p.71]
-
