Rave Magazine
Doowop melodies, nasty Link Wray-esque guitar and Dee Dee’s naïve yet brooding and dramatic songs all conspire to create one of the hippest party records of the year

FasterLouder
Dee Dee is a musical magpie, borrowing a harmony here, an effect there... any quibbles about originality or influence will be forgotten because ultimately this album is way too much fun

Charmingly flawed album that could very well wrangle it’s way into your heart as your sepia-toned, sun-kissed, flighty summer romance
