Mates of State continue tocome through with some of the strongest, most heartfelt boy/girl vocals, andsome of the most unique and dynamic rhythms in indie pop.

Irresistible...one of the most fantastic, uplifting and lovely albumsI've heard in a long time.

Inspiringly romantic, structurally scattershot, and just impeccablyperformed, the album's ten perfect songs are more than enough to offset anynotion of novelty and kitsch that may arise from the band's unique formula.

Both sensible and melodically infectious.

Every track on Our ConstantConcern attests to Mates of State'smastery of their medium...the songs are thoughtful and intoxicating. Everythingjust works together perfectly.

Complex arrangements and breathtaking vocal harmonies, full ofwhimsy and daydreaming... prove that the lack of guitars does not translate toa lack of depth. Mates of State makenearly perfect pop.
