“There is something kind of odd about Crawl Babies. Almost as if some wires don’t exactly connect. Something about their music that makes me scratch my head and wonder just what it is that has attracted me to them. Whatever it is, I like it a lot (personally, I think it’s their use of the Wurlitzer). Tangles is full of these offbeat concoctions. Mixtures of surf and indie rock that are fused together to create an album that is strangely addicting.”

“There’s something infectious about the debut effort by Brooklyn-based band Crawl Babies. Every song on Tangles draws on an interesting blend of influences, from rockabilly to psych rock to 50s pop rock. Even though it’s definitely a throwback, Tangles is in no way boring. Over the top of the simple, repetitious percussion rhythms are soaring, atmospheric lead guitar lines that grab the ear without stepping on the vocal melodies...The point is, it’s real.”

“It's like dreamy summer surf pop, but it cuts deep. Should I dance or kill myself? I don't know..? And the guitars. They do rad things.”

"It’s a particular brand of shoegaze with very earnest and dandy vocals entwined with twangy, tremoloed surf-inspired guitars over simple, pounding beats. The live performance is beautiful, haunting and thundering."
