"...slow, pretty, and quiet meanderings are this band's stock in trade. Intricately fingerpicked acoustic guitars dance around brushed drumming, with unobtrusive electronic gurgles and drones hovering in the background."
—Sean Padilla, Mundane Sounds
(on Oceanographer's live set at RGRS in Denton, TX)
"...a museum is probably the best environment—outside of a pair of headphones—to study the sweated-over details in the group's songs, not unlike the careful brushwork present in the paintings a hundred feet away from the DMA's atrium."
—Zac Crain, The Dallas Observer
(on Oceanographer's set at the Dallas Museum of Art)
"It's a slow-burning patchwork of soft-sliding guitars and blue-hued vox..."
—Audra Schroeder, The Austin Chronicle
(on On Leaping From Airplanes)
"...a blend of spacey textures and raw, country-tinged songwriting... a lovely meeting between the New Year's Newness Ends and Pleasant Grove's Auscultation of the Heart."
—Sam Machkovech, The Dallas Observer
(on On Leaping From Airplanes)
"They excite the listener and leave you wondering where the
hell they learned to write such great music, that is truly a breath of
fresh air."
—Alexandre Poulin, Two Way Monologues
(on On Leaping From Airplanes)
"...a melancholy shoegazer album of bruised ego and meandering melody..."
—Sara Hepola, The Dallas Observer
(on On Leaping From Airplanes)
"...their melodies chime like a lullaby for the indie rock set ...perfect music for those who like blissed-out pop, sad-style folk, and just downright beautiful music."
—Joseph Kyle, Mundane Sounds
(on Twenty String)
"A sweet-and-low soundtrack for filling ashtrays and emptying wine bottles..."
—Zac Crain, The Dallas Observer
(on Twenty String)
"Twenty String mystifies, sparkles, tingles and soothes... a thoroughly omnipotent release, bashful and graceful."
—Mark Barton, Losing Today
"...one of those discs that should come with a pack of cigarettes, a bottle of wine and a rainy day."
—Zac Crain, The Dallas Observer
(on Twenty String)
"The band's maturity and careful grace in songwriting in combination with their melodic ability and technical proficiency makes for a truly rewarding experience."
—Jeff C., Delusions of Adequacy
(on Twenty String)
"A perfect summer-turning-to-autumn record."
—Christopher Taylor, Losing Today
(on Twenty String)
"...fateful, emotional..."
—Jeff Petermann, Action Attack Helicopter Magazine
(on Twenty String)
"...a soft crescendo propelled along by accordian, paint brush drumming and the sweet interplay of acoustic and electric guitar."
—Kevin Neudecker, Sponic Zine
(on Twenty String)
