  1. Right from the start with opener "Lion Face Boy", Seabear bring you in and captivate you for the entirety of We Built A Fire.
  2. We Built A Fire is an unassuming, quietly smouldering flash of brilliance to carry us from the deadened depths of whitest winter into the slanted and enchanted light of a spring well spent.

    Delicate folk rock is hardly thin on the ground, but rarely is it tackled with such mastery. [May 2010, p.125]

    Although the lyrics are slightly repetitive, the hypnotic rhythms more than make up for it, transporting the listener to a world void of the 9-to-5 mundane.
  5. Song construction isn’t quite as nifty and complex as, say, Grizzly Bear, but there are plenty of moments to keep you coming back for more.
  6. Under The Radar

    The band injects a welcome sense of joy and life into their previously hushed Iron And Wine-like sound. [Winter 2010, p.65]
