Press

"The followup, the recently released Length of Arms, is better in every way, and reveals not only the expected Radiohead influences, but a beefed-up synth attack and, God help me, a love of hoary '70s prog rock that only contemporary bands like Arcade Fire and The Decemberists can pull off well. Add The Receiver to that rarefied list....In short, this is a very, very fine album. They've borrowed the best from the best, and made something entirely their own."

— Andy Whitman, Paste Magazine

"Length of Arms, their flawless sophomore effort, is indeed a grand statement comprised of sophisticated melodies, somnambulant interludes, and sweeping dynamics..."

— Tom Semioli, Amplifier Magazine

"9.5/10. Their latest work is one of the most textured, trippy and spacious albums of the year so far, brimming with genius instrumentation and ethereal melodies."

— David Cawthon, Stereo Subversion

"These compositions are smart, intricate, and totally mentally absorbing."

— Babysue

"It’s like an electronic, alien orchestra...It’s rare to hear an album this artfully arranged."

— Joel Oliphnnt, The Other Paper

"...gauged to engage both musical masters and the masses alike."

— Jo-Ann Greene, All Music Guide

"Decades is constantly impressive and epic, carrying influences like Air, Sigur Rós, and reminders of the previously mentioned classic rock outfits. Truly, this disc is a transcendent piece of music....This is an album made by musicians who not only know that they’re breaking new ground, they level it with each step..."

— Ryan Harig, Transformonline.com
