Comments

A lush electronic undercurrent guides this blissful slice of dream-pop that amazingly manages to justify its near six-minute length. Adore the male/female back-and-forth on the vocals, too. More, please. 8/10

Oh Ye Denver Birds excel in the department of lush layered melodies with the correct mix of quirk and catchyness. Another fantastic track from them that is both emotionally poignant and pleasant listening, Bring on the LP already! 8/10

This is seriously good stuff. Sounds a little like Gotye with the use of samples and various textures but the sound is somewhat more ethereal. The track sounds like it was recorded in a massive cathedral, in a good way. 8/10
