Lowways by Twin Library
"It’s hard to put into words just how effortlessly a minor punk anthem like 'Lower Flag' flows into the gentle currents of 'Abandon Everyone', or how a short blast of instrumentation like 'Instrumental Propeller' can set the tone of an entire record in just 33 seconds...
'Bluedays' is a lovely, hazy summer afternoon lullaby; 'The Surgery Never Left' targets your ears like a heat-seeking missile of lo-fi pop explosives; 'The Wreckage' defying its name by being delicately, gorgeously constructed..."
Quick Before It Melts, March 2013
"a quiet element to the recording quality that makes it extremely personal...while there are some really soft moments on the album, there are also experiments with noise, which provide a little bit of differentiation, giving the record more endurance from spin to spin"

"this month, they have a new release, Lowways. By way of giving some incentive to check them out, they share a list of their music loves (and, perhaps, muses): Guided By Voices, Little Wings, The Velvet Underground, The Wedding Present, Ride, The Clean, Television Personalities, Robyn Hitchcock. That's good enough for me. It should be for you, as well"
