    This is something better: a record designed to carry on the tradition of smooth, fizzy bubblegum into the new millennium and, against all odds, it succeeds mightily.

    While the music might be chilled-out, an innate tension invites deeper listening.

    Greetings From California is an album that shines a light on The Madden Brothers' mature side. [13 Sep 2014, p.53]

    When they stick to the ’60s Cali Pop of the uplifting “We Are Done” and dreamy “California Rain,” they produce some remarkably winning songs worthy of van-loads of bearded, guitar-toting indie popsters aping the Beach Boys and the Mommas And The Papas. When they miss, though, it’s more unbearable than rush hour traffic on the 405.

    The pristine production undermines any realness, like an amber-tinted Instagram filter.
