Conspired in their Windy City origins at Andy's grandmother's house, Gauntlet Hair the LP is otherwise a fantastical recording, a complete artistic metamorphosis from the pair's raw-dog early 7-inches for Forest Family and Mexican Summer that finds Andy and Craig refining their edge to reveal the silver lining behind their inherit sonic clutter.- Blurt Magazine

Those two bumps aside ["Cruel Intentions" and "I Should Have Stayed in Bed"], it's overall a solid album from a band that's honestly been missed.- Blurt Magazine

With nearly each track including a mesmerizing hook or chorus that slowly permeates your subconscious - "Clone" and "Breathing Underwater" leap out from the pack in this regard - Synthetica is a solid album.- Blurt Magazine

It's nearly impossible for Hiatt to put out a bad record. You may not love every song, but there's bound to be a few on there to make the album well worth the price you paid.- Blurt Magazine

Pop elements ensure that Musostics works pleasantly enough as background music, but it is also complicated enough to reward more concentrated listening.- Blurt Magazine

The production may be a little cleaner, but the same knack for great fuzzed-out ditties is still there... a pretty good album.- Blurt Magazine

By definition, they're not as classic as his first three albums but because of the amazing guitar plus the soulful grooves and songwriting (and thankfully no overdubbing), there's still some good quality material found here for fans and even some agnostics.- Blurt Magazine

Scholarly stuff this, but also an intriguing reinvention that makes this an ideal marriage of folk and finesse.- Blurt Magazine

Out of View already channels a good bit of chaos in with its summer afternoon melodies, now after only a couple of years of experimentation.- Blurt Magazine

All this adds to a gentle atmosphere of regret, of unhurried contemplation of things and people who are no longer around us.- Blurt Magazine

With the ambitious Miracle Temple , Mount Moriah puts its own powerful stamp on a music that's faithkeeping in more than one sense.- Blurt Magazine

It could easily pass for one of the group's previous efforts. Anyone familiar with the Weakerthans' catalog will realize immediately that's a good thing.- Blurt Magazine

So its songs aren't exactly of the hum-along variety. No matter. There's no denying Sun Kil Moon's luminous glow.- Blurt Magazine

The album is not a total departure from previous work, and their admirers will be elated at this crackerjack effort and the opportunity to live music the Strange Boys way once again.- Blurt Magazine

The band seem as if they're still evolving and putting new ideas into play without a definitive idea of where they're heading. No worries though; Delta Spirit's spirited impulses are clearly capable of determining any new direction.- Blurt Magazine

With Eno at the controls, the Turbo Fruits straighten up, fly right and in the process bash out their most enjoyable work to date.- Blurt Magazine

Their latest, Signed and Sealed in Blood, will likely not change many opinions as it is still their same hallmark of rowdy, drink in the air, boot stomping sing-alongs.- Blurt Magazine

Throughout this very odd but engaging album, she manages to slip and slide over the exposed guts of the blues without contradicting her clean, punctual, precise arrangements.- Blurt Magazine

It's about evenly balanced between original material and covers that show Willner's and Faithfull's deep-catalog knowledge of pop music.- Blurt Magazine
