Sounds Like: "they're busy now backing frontman Patrick Phelan's passionate lyrics about driftwood orchestras. He's got a quirky inflection and a hint of swagger to pit against the band's largely sunny jangle."
-Independent weekly (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC) - July 2007
"Luego is a new one to watch in Durham. Part of the band's smarts lies in its balance between warm, folksy Dylan-esque rock-economics and the solid build of weepy symphony strings."
-Independent weekly (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC) - October 2007
"'I Need Some' is one of the band’s favorite songs to perform because of its ability to make the crowd shake some ass but also because, as Phelan puts it, 'It rocks pretty hard.'"
-Encore Magazine (Wilmington, NC) - November 2007
"Luego's got the trappings of a crisp pop band, focusing on the songs and structures at a time when shoddy songwriting in indie rock gets cloacked too often in gestures and ornaments."
-Independent Weekly (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC) - January 2008
"“Get Under You†could be Radiohead playing for tips in a jazz lounge."
-Metro Spirit (Augusta, GA) - January 2008
"The promising young indie-rock acts have produced a very good and easy listening sound that is a cross between pop, folk and a bit of classical. There's a cool balance of instruments and some jazz that gives them their unique sound.
