Jan 13, 2015A record that’s equal parts sugar rush power-pop and low-end meandering.
-
Jan 13, 2015Nights in the Dark picks up where its predecessor left off, but its scope and ambition are impressively wider. Thankfully, this sounds like it owes more to the band’s natural growth than it does to any hamfisted attempts at forcing innovation.

Classic Rock MagazineFeb 26, 2015They find the sweet spot between Dinosaur Jr's nagging noise and The Posies' woozy power-pop charm. [Apr 2015, p.101]
-
Jan 20, 2015Despite the stumbles, Nights includes some of California X's best work, and these moments are so strong, it's impossible to write the band off.
-
Q MagazineMar 11, 2015Night In the Dark is retrograde, but it's a refinement too. [Apr 2015, p.97]
