Feb 16, 2015Will never understand the blah ratings this group gets. I absolutely love this album. Smooth, chill, jams. Nice vibes all around and very catchy beats. This is the perfect soundtrack to being drunk on the beach in San Diego. Not their best album, but definitely second favorite.

Aug 15, 2011Not terrible, but nothing spectacular. You turn the record on and you think it's not too bad. Then you forget about it. An hour passes and you realize you had been listening to something. That's when you say f*** it and move onto better things.

Aug 11, 2011So many sublime melodies in this album and shoegaze explorations which all work out really well. And "Amor Fati" is, oh, absolutely transcendental.

Jul 20, 2011It doesn't really do anything that Life of Leisure didn't do better. It's still has all those same qualities of wistful prettiness that made the previous disc so gorgeous, but it just sounds a little stuck in a rut. It's a nice rut, ok? It'd be great to have sex to if anyone was interested, but the highlight would almost certainly be the sex. Still, good headphone record to get a little lost in.

Jul 18, 2011Harsh, Deathromp. I quite liked it. Ernest Greene has built upon the sound that made his 2009 debut so successful and fun. A carefree LP for the remainder of Summer and beyond with one of the finest singles of the summer: "Eyes Be Closed". Impressive stuff from the young Georgian.

Dec 9, 2011When you want to hear something nice and don't want to be overly engaged or challenged, Within and Without will satisfy your needs in that regard, and only those looking for memorable songs or fresh sounds will feel let down.

Nov 10, 2011There's a significant lack of depth to Within and Without.

Sep 14, 2011Greene's best trick: Using those elements of the past while crafting an album that sounds like a beautiful, dreamy future.
