Praise for The Special Pillow

"A marvelous blend of '60s psychedelia and '90s space-rock textures . . . a fanciful, dreamy set of low-key, jangly/droney pop nuggets, with literate, impressionistic lyrics, highly recommended."—AMPLIFIER"An extraordinary agglomeration, a veritable super group of musicians based in and around Hoboken, New Jersey. Together they could almost be expected to either bliss-out expansively all over your best Persian or implode catatonically in a shower of atonal abnormality, and yet somehow they successfully manage to pull off both with considerable aplomb and still leave room for the occasional skewed pop masterpiece."—PTOLEMAIC TERRASCOPE"There are a bunch of terrific songs here . . . colored with jangly guitars and swooning violin . . . a stunning, off-kilter pop record."—SPLENDID"Lilting, folk-y melodies shine throughout, as do inventive violin and viola arrangements. . . . well worth the wait for fans . . . and a nice, warm place to enter as a novitiate."—RESONANCE"Not the cuddly, twee band you might expect from its name. . . . Affecting pop . . . ingenious arrangements."—TIME OUT NEW YORK
