About Me

Our Music Video for "LOLITA." Directed by Matt Daniels at ThinkLab .
..
    MTV Music Videos MTV Shows Entertainment News

Throw Me The Statue is a band. Keyboards, guitars, drums -- that kind of stuff.


"This standout track ("Lolita") has the straightahead bedroom vocals of Guided by Voices, the lilting pop instincts of fellow Seattleites the Long Winters, and chutes-and-ladders melodies recalling the Shins. All are in service of a breezy July-afternoon song full of ramshackle bells, electronic beats, and simple, chugging guitars.” ..right- Pitchfork Media

"TMTS throws a perfect storm of clatter into his homey pop...The absolutely addictive "Lolita" hits like Bob Pollard's beloved Kinks asking us to, please, come dancing." ..right- Stereogum"This guy is from Seattle, and, good lord, he is good!" ..right- USA TODAY Pop Candy "Offering a breed of ludicrously melodic synth-driven pop." ..right- The Guardian "Moonbeams, the debut album from the group, is a collection of catchy, upbeat indie pop with enough experimental twists and turns to keep it interesting..” ..right- NPR "88%. A captivating set of songs that begs for repeated listens.” ..right- Filter Magazine "Throw Me the Statue’s live show is wildly energetic...an abandon grounded by serious musicianship." ..right- The Stranger Weekly Blog"Scott Reitherman's bedroom pop - catchy melodies, uke and synth, part Guided By Voices & part Magnetic Fields, - wields a wistfulness that's sometimes breathtaking." ..right- Said The Gramophone"Nods to everything from Of Montreal to the Beach Boys make his a tough sound to corral, and that’s the beauty of it." ..right- Seattle Weekly "One of the catchiest and most enjoyable indie records of the summer." ..right- I Guess I'm Floating
