about

“Infused with raw emotion and melody, the intricately layered songs range from Try And Try And Try’s early-U2-inflected stadium sound to ...Then She Killed Me’s psych-informed garage rock. The album’s standout is Hang Up (Remix), an infectious, propulsive, downtrodden anthem that benefits from Mukherjee’s bittersweet vocal melody." Jordan Bimm, Now Magazine

"Though this musical tale of unrequited love is the work of Toronto's Sumon (Shoe) Mukherjee, it could easily pass for a hazily remembered single from the U.K., circa 1983. His list of influences may include Oasis and The Verve, but this obsessively layered, minor-key production hints more at the chilly majesty of, say, Talk Talk's "It's My Life" and U2's "New Year's Day." - John Sakamoto, The Toronto Star

"They're from Toronto, but we've never heard of these cats before. That probably won't last because this EP is entirely solid. They claim they're inspired by The Verve and Joy Division and The Stone Roses, and yeah, we can see it. But there's just as much fuzzy guitar/mid-'90s college rock/pre-suck Treble Charger vibe to make it feel colonial. We're paying attention now..." Chart Magazine
