 Parts & Labor
"Never mind the 21st century's answer to the Tarkus on the front cover-- Receivers is Parts & Labor's most ambitious record, for sure, but they haven't gone off the deep end or made irreparable changes to their distinctive sound. They're still stubbornly reconstructing punk anthems from the same raw parts-- Dan Friel's wheezing, bagpipe-reminding keyboards chiefly among them-- but building something bigger, from stronger foundations. They aim for tension and nuance where they'd previously shouted and bludgeoned (not that anyone minded the bludgeoning, of course) and their tables of broken toys sound like tidal waves of melody and sound." - Pitchfork

 Donovan Quinn & the Thirteenth Month
"Quinn sings a lot like he speaks. With a backing band laying down a wobbly, country-kissed jangle that feels as influenced by twee icons like Television Personalities and the Pastels as by West Coast folkies P.F. Sloan and John Phillips, he plays the shy guy, mumbling and whispering in a narcotic drone that rarely crawls out of a gooey unintelligibility. It's really quite hypnotic, the aural equivalent of a sluggish Sunday afternoon poisoned by Saturday night's transgressions.
So yeah, Quinn the person and artist is really pretty loose, so to speak. But that's also a bit misleading. Beneath that garbled croon and that slack approach to collaboration exists an extremely skilled lyricist who has fully internalized classic modes of metaphor, symbolism, and narrative." - Justin Farrar, SF Weekly

 Finest Dearest
"Sarcastic and skeptical lyrics coming out of a sweet and swooning voice. The band has an indie-pop snarl that's hard to pull off and rare to find." - Tripwire

 Sleepy Sun
"Sleepy Sun have an honest, high-energy show that ranges from hard, early Sabbath-level rock to a genuine gospel/ spiritual vibe, all making Sleepy Sun a really tough act to follow. Their discipline, dynamics, dominance over tempo (the subtlest and most commonly overlooked musical device), and brooding nature evokes comparisons as disparate as Black Sabbath, George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass", Pink Floyd and Bjork . . . and we still haven’t heard the record." - The Deli Magazine SF
