Reviews

  • Clouds builds uponitself and takes the listener numerous times to fully gather in all theintricacies which it produces.
    - All Music Guide
  • Clouds is a firmlyfooted, well-proportioned record, balances soft and loud acoustics, tempos andmoods, splices in synths and even some trumpets. Fans of Superchunk and Archers ofLoaf look no further.
    - Amplifier Magazine.

  • Highly enthusiastic, synth-laced indie-pop.

    - Pitchfork
  • The Ivory Coast hascreated an album that we're destined to feel nostalgic about someday.
    - Philadelphia Weekly

  • This is one hell of a listen, the way rock music should be. 

    - Jersey Beat

  • Melodic and witty indierock. Sensitive with a smirk and disjointed in the right places.

    - Style Weekly

  • Cloudsdoes the ambitious art-rock thing sans all the drama, snobbery and pretense,instead focusing on the music's blend of sentient, creamy-smooth vocals andWashington D.C.-bred post-core harmonics.

    - CMJ

  • This is the epitome of credible indie rock...hummable, catchy songsaccentuated by spacey guitar licks...just enough unexpected twists and turns tokeep things interesting.

    - Performer

  • One on the year's finest indie platters, so go ahead, seek it out andget lost in Clouds.
