"Listening to this record is like wading through a rocky stream bubbling with meandering wisps of digitized nostalgia. That gentle feeling of peace only found on a listless summer evening with the beauty of this life wrapping you in a warm embrace." - Justin Smith, Euclid Records (Seattle, WA) 

"The music is bursting with life yet also tranquil—laid-back music attuned to the rhythms of life, and the reasons to celebrate it.”
- Dave Sumner, Bandcamp
