    Paranoid Cocoon establishes its sound early, so anybody initially put off by all of the cloudy skies and soft, neo-psychedelic mountain melancholy will inevitably come away disappointed, but fans of James Yorkston, Richard Hawley, M. Ward, and mild hangovers will eat this up, and rightly so.
  3. Paste Magazine

    Overall, Paranoid Cocoon's bedroom chamber pop spins with variety and subtle dissonances aplenty.
  4. Rolling Stone

    On their debut disc, Nau and McGraw craft jazzy folk peppered with pianos, strings and organs, and drive them with down-home vocal harmonies.
