Alternative PressEverything's emotional whole is greater than the sum of its individual musical parts. [Aug 2005, p.176]
-
One of the most impressive collections of gorgeous, delicate pop songs in recent memory.

The Oranges Band doesn't rewrite the indie rock handbook; more like they follow it in note-perfect style and form and in such a familiar way (Spoon, New Pornographers, Guided by Voices, Yo La Tengo, new wave influence, etc.) that your initial inclination might be to dismiss them as generic wannabes. Stick around though and you just might be won over.

UrbSomewhere between the Plimsouls and The La's, this should keep your top down throughout the summer. [Jul/Aug 2005, p.109]
-
