Sounds Like: HEY - WHAT'S THE WORD ON THAT NEW BEDROOM WALLS ALBUM?

"[Bedroom Walls] don't simply ponder their sad-sack nature, they celebrate it, transforming rainy-day guitar ballads into gorgeous mini-symphonies packed with enough vibraphone, glockenspiel, strings, and woodwinds to blow the clouds away."

- SPIN

"Put simply, "All Good Dreamers Pass This Way" is an exceptional and mesmerizing album to fall in love with."

- Under the Radar

"Every track here is positively delightful...All in all, a strange, sensational record that will captivate you from the first listen."

- All Music Guide

"Imagine Stars making an album with Air. Without a doubt, Bedroom Walls wills soon be playing out of every sad person's bed-side radio."

- Urb

"In the spirit of The Clientele (only lusher), Bedroom Walls lay in strings, bells, and deep twang, creating a wistful feeling that unfurls like a miniature movie"

- The Onion AV Club

"There is no substitute for listening to a Bedroom Walls album."

- PopMatters

"In a town top-heavy with genius it seldom fails to neglect, Bedroom Walls is worthy of giddy note for many reasons."

- LA City Beat

"Lovely...a dreamy and engaging form of art pop"

- The New Yorker

"In Flaming Lips/Broken Social Scene/Pink Floyd fashion, the Bedroom walls show they’ve successfully mastered the use of dynamic composition. Undercast bass lines and a few doses of the melodian add to the disc’s orchestral feel, offering a classical quality that at times seems more in line with Mozart than David Gilmour.

- MSNBC "Independent Study"

"[Bedroom Walls] make very catchy, sometimes spacey, all-the-time excellent pop music for the modern urban hipster (i.e. you)."

- Tripwire's "High Five"

"Opening an album with a song called "In Anticipation of Your Suicide" might mark a band for life, but when you're L.A. quartet Bedroom Walls, it's more of a promise."

- Austin Chronicle

"Melodic but vaguely sinister popishness."

- Cool'eh

"On Bedroom Walls' latest, they keep the poetics dense and the riffs mesmerizing. Bedroom Walls are capable of going from hushed to epic in the space of just a few bars, twisting the expected into something unique, narcotic, and sweetly addictive."

- Rhino Recommends

"A collection of wistful, breezy songs that are at once delicate and confident."

- TimeOut New York

"Darling enough to make you melt."

- Anthem

"Highland Park's Bedroom Walls create layered, orchestral pop that's as much a soundtrack for walking as locked-in-the-attic-in-romantic-reverie music. Languorously dreamy, the melancholy songs are defined by sensuous male and female vocals, lullaby-like keyboard riffs, and sparse, lo-fi drums.
