“Featuring a line-up that includes former side-men for Black Eyed Peas, Mojave 3, Hope Sandoval, Cake and the Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Idaho Falls seamlessly mix the sound of California country pop with psychedelia and spaced out noise.â€

“8 out of 10 stars. God, I love this record in so many ways. That a band have managed to independently release an album that’s so beautiful to look at and hold is a feat in itself… It’s an album that screams out to be listened to, and fortunately, this time around at least, you really can judge the book by its cover.â€
