Fall Sounds is the perfect name for this album, because the music somehow conjures up images of falling leaves, grey skies, and beautiful sunsets.

Incredibly listenable, downright catchy, and kitschy in all the right ways.

Penelope’s songs are short and to the point, with just the right amount of moodiness.

They do such traditionally no-smiles allowed, experimental things, but with a real sense of humor.

This is the new genre: micro-beat.

The best electronic pop money can buy?

If I look at the album’s high points, I could listen to a double album of that stuff.

Melodramatic dreaminess with more than just a hint of twee and shoegazer pop.

There is definitely warmth found throughout with the help of a soothing voice and lulling reverb.

Live: Roseland NYC reveals a band that not only puts out great albums, but puts on one heckuva live show.

My advice: don’t run away from this album, but listen to it before you buy it.

David Bazan’s songwriting has never been better than on this album but the emotional and spiritual depth feels strangely underwhelming.

Pedro the Lion’s songs practically drip with an intensity that would make most emo bands foam at the mouth.

One word could sum up Pedro the Lion’s music: humility.

Plone’s analog synth music is at its best when it’s most whimsical and playful.

Remarkably pleasant to the ears, even at its harshest, while still delivering a challenging and unpredictable listen.

Of all the “industrial” albums I’ve bought, this one’s held the most interest for me, simply because it’s so different.

Much of the music on here is pretty challenging, but fortunately for the listener, it almost always delivers.

When it works, it shows once again that Martin is still one of the best songwriters in Christian music.

Actually, the best part about having all of these tracks in one location is getting to listen to all of Starflyer’s musical directions in one sitting.
