    Once 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.

    On Mole City, Quasi embrace their scattered thoughts with a wink and a grin, and never let go.

    Not the best Quasi introduction for first-time listeners, but there’s plenty for the band’s fans to love.

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

    While the length is an issue, when Quasi do get it right, the results are up there with some of the best work they have produced over the last two decades.

    There's little, if any, regard for structure or convention, meaning that Mole City could be five tracks long or 50 and still happily exist in a brilliantly idiosyncratic bubble all of its own.

    It's an LP that gets through more ideas than most indie bands can manage in a lifetime. [Dec 2013, p.71]

    Old-fashioned rock music. I would have liked that album if it was released 8 or 9 years ago. I was into that kind of music back then. Maybe inOld-fashioned rock music. I would have liked that album if it was released 8 or 9 years ago. I was into that kind of music back then. Maybe in the future i'll like it more. But now, it's just okay. It didn't catch my attention or imagination in any kind of way. It wasn't exciting enough. Full Review »
