-
This mixture of clattering, ramshackle arrangements and smartly put-together tunes... is an intriguing new direction for a band that previously seemed more interested in artsy, diffident post-rock.
-
Alternative PressIt's nothing short of their highest point to date. [Nov 2006, p.188]
-
MojoIt's both so clever and so very charming. [Nov 2006, p.114]
-
A significant leap forward from 2004s We Should Have Never Lived Like Skyscrapers, the sound is richer, warmer and more deeply layered.
-
Transcendence has yet to occur, but they have taken the required step in acquiring a broader range of exposure.
-
There’s something to be said for rewarding repeated listens, for golden nuggets in every song, never buried but never hollering.
-
Harness doesn't deliver many surprises or follow through on the promise of the debut; it simply refines the sounds they explored and digs its heels in a little deeper.
-
The overall effect is some formidable, quirky inde-rock.
