    The Unicorns’ Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone? defines indie-pop, laden with hooks boasting a charmingly lo-fi sound devoid of pretensions and true to whatever whimsy their muse has stricken them with.

    Their patchwork approach to psychedelia recalls the shoestring ingenuity of cult mid-'90s act Neutral Milk Hotel. [Jan 2005, p.104]

    Apparently stagnation in current musical production and composition, is completely reflected in the stale, unsophisticated musical sense of the entertainment review industry. A truly innovative and impressive album, with all the joy and unpretentious excitement of youth. Also Les Os, I Was Born, Tuff Ghost, The Clap, Jellybones and Let's Get Known fucking rock.… Expand

    The last minute and a half of "Les Os" might just be the best little bit of music ever composed. Absolutely brilliant album.

    When I first got this album I listened to it constantly. Now, about a year later, I still enjoy it, but it certainly has lost some of its sparkle. This isn't an album that will change the world or your life, but it is certainly fun.… Expand
