Summer in Abaddon delivers an all-inclusive perfection that sets it apart from any other record this year.
-
Combining dramatic, ethereal pop vocals with moody guitar and piano theatrics, Summer in Abaddon recalls a tighter, smoothed-out Built to Spill, or maybe a Dismemberment Plan reunion.
-
It's quite a treat to hear the duo create such refreshingly original music with rock's "standard" instruments.

Mojo[Pinback's] blend of warm and wistful is almost impossible to resist. [Jan 2005, p.104]
-
A triumph of intense weirdness and cosy warmth.

Pinback is among a select group of indie rock bands who excel at making incredibly nuanced pop music full of graceful layers the intrepid listener can delight in sorting out.
-
UncutFor all their deft intricacies, they're somewhat characterless. [Dec 2004, p.140]
