“(Kaspar Hauser) plays crunchy, jagged and rough-edged rootsy rock, alternately recalling Buffalo Springfield/Neil Young, Will Oldham, Wilco, and early R.E.M. … while Comerford sings with a distinguishing, Jeff-Tweedy-like twang. Despite the despondent lyrical content and occasional raucousness, the album also has a down-home, heartfelt quality that makes an impact.” —Mark Suppanz, Big Takeover (#64)
“Bowery Boy Blue’s new album is also tailor-made for fans of Neil Young, Will Oldham, and Magnolia Electric Co. Developed out of lead singer Zeb Gould’s solo material, the album clocks in at a brisk yet impactful 32 minutes. Gould’s vocals are actually eerily reminiscent of Jason Molina’s at times and it’s backed by crunching guitar chords, strings, and even horns.” —Captain Obvious
