Some early reviews and blogger love:

CD Baby - Editors' Pick!
"[CD Baby] gets about 200-250 new albums a DAY coming in here now, (about 200,000 total)... one of the best we've ever heard..."

"Manchester via Brooklyn? Not nearly as oddball as it sounds. In fact, once you strap on the headphones and let this take you over, you'll slip right into it, probably wondering how songs as uncannily accessible as these can sound so today and so 1989 (in the best way), all at once. These aren't dark stabs at reinvigorating an imagined Charlatans b-side (though the Charlatans comparison isn't far off), and they're not tributary one-offs specifically intended to remind of us a time when popular music was great (though they do invoke a bit of that). This is a new entity, one that wisely embraces all the best parts of something we should have never let go in the first place. With his UK roots pinned to his shirt, singer/songwriter James Love carefully injects that distinct feel into melody-heavy tracks that certainly wouldn't sound out of place in NY either. The band has found a balance, tapping into the best parts of both these influences and creating songs that are familiar in mood and execution, but starkly new in content and construction. So don't scream 'Madchester!' Nobody wants that. But if these tracks take you back there for a second, don't worry, but don't get lost. You're here, in the now. And you'll be glad that this album is with you."

"... a magnificently sneery look at indie people, possibly including a bit of caustic self analysis, given that James Love (who I think writes most, if not all, of the lyrics) is actually born in the UK (see the last line of the first verse)... The bass line to this song is awesome, proper stonking awesome. It's so stonking you could build a castle on it."

- A Cloud of Starlings (review of "Went to India" - acloudofstarlings.blogspot.com)

"Their single, Excuse Me, has a fuzzed out bass, a dash of keys, and lead vocals punctuated by a low, almost grumbling inflection. It's definitely got a heavy, dark, back alley feel to it, which I'm digging."

- Sheena Beaston (review of "Excuse Me" - sheenabeaston.blogspot.com)

"Fuzzed-out, UK-esque, bounce... Hot Seconds is a project with a strong dedication to pop craft and a less confrontational stance than that earlier band. But perhaps, if one was searching to find connections: there's a bit of a shared mentality of production-invention love and disdain for a motionless audience. Dig that fuzzed-out bass."

- Helthy Entertainment (www.hellthy.com)

"The rhythm section thumps like a hired killer and each song is decorated with analogue ear candy. Synths rumble under the guitars and I think I even heard a melodica thrown in for good measure. Their songs are clean, catchy, and well-produced - which means it's only a matter of time before you hear them pumping out the jams behind a colorful montage of the new Nano."

Amie Street Artist Spotlight!
"The self-titled album is chock-full of the sounds of their British influences, and features a welcome sense of humor about the current rock scene. Check out Went To India, a great song itself but especially notable for its punchlines ('I live in Scarsdale / But I say Lower East Side')."
