We are like two peas in a pod except we’re five peas
“Hermit Thrushes were the highlight [of the evening], cross-dressing in Technicolor as they bounced their thrash-folk asses around, stopping often to tell the audience (in vain) to ‘Please, move closer. No, come on. Fill this space, please.’” Will Deitz – Impose Magazine
“This twisted band from Philadelphia reminds me of Tunnel of Love in the sense that they apply a proggy, avant sensibility to indie-rock pop songs; judging from the pretty but fractured tracks on this album (their first), it sounds like they start with pop tunes and systematically turn them inside out and break them apart, with an end result that is equal parts intriguing and mystifying. […] The sound is a combination of pop, indie-rock, noise, drone, prog, pysch, and even folk, with all of these elements combined and recombined in pretzel shapes and rooted in a commitment to unusual sounds and pulverized song structures. Despite the varied cornucopia of genres flowing over and bumping into each other, the album is surprisingly listenable — the songs are relatively short and while they’re possessed of quirky, near-random structures, the sound is frequently catchy and nowhere near as cacaphonous as the wide variety of sounds might suggest.” RFK – The one true dead angel
