Failure by Unicycle Loves You
"The group's new record, Failure, is anything but. One thing that grabbed me from the get-go was Failure's garage-rock sound blended with catchy pop melodies."
- USA Today
"Unicycle Loves You works toward melodic cohesion with a tinge of thrashing devil-may-care attitude. The group’s harmonies are cohesive but always elastic, allowing it to routinely experiment with—and succeed at creating—new sounds. Its 2012 release, Failure, celebrated with this performance, highlights the best qualities of garage rock: dance-inducing, choppy guitar riffs complemented by deeply rooted bass lines."
- AV Club
"Failure is ultimately an album you can put your arms around and give a great big hug to"

In Unicycle songs—which somehow manage to combine "mid-tempo" with "high-octane"—you might encounter trace amounts of My Bloody Valentine, Belly, Guided By Voices, Of Montreal, the High Water Marks, the Fiery Furnaces, The Strokes, and Belle & Sebastian, bathed in Carroll and Vitale's mawkish, harmonized sarcasm and concentrated bursts of effects-pedal napalm.
