Sounds Like:- PRAISE FOR EAGLE SEAGULL -
"A perfectly executed debut album by the new US-Underground sensation.†- ROLLING STONE (Germany) - “Art-pop sensibilities of contemporaries like Wolf Parade and the Arcade Fire - an engaging, emotionally-wracked self-titled album.†- SPIN MAGAZINE - “Among the most gifted of the current crop of American bands. Capable of anything.†- DIE WELT - “Claustrophobic and celebratory. Majestic and intimate. And (almost) no comparisons.†- MUSIK EXPRESS - “If you consider ‘In Every Dream Home A Heartache’ to be one of the greatest ever Roxy Music tracks, Eagle Seagull is for you.†- DIE WELT - “Bowie-esque hysterics with a portion of Gilbert O’Sullivan.†- SPEX - “Can turn a song about loneliness and a wounding beauty into something you could dance to.†- RADIO FREE CHICAGO - “Maybe the next indie band from Nebraska to strike it big on an international level.†- LAZY-I - "Marquis de Sade would have liked Eagle Seagull." - FREDERICK FOXTROTT - Eagle Seagull...proved far better than their...choice of a band name. The Nebraska-based six-piece electro-pop outfit, which at times featured two - count 'em, two! -synth players and a violinist, performed a pungent...set of angular dance-floor rock that recalled the Cure and the Rapture. - THE BOSTON GLOBE - Eagle Seagull sound nothing like other contemporary indie rock artists. Their performance carried me back to the mid 70’s in NYC. The band’s danceable and sultry compositions carried weight of the superstars who made CBGB’s famous, most notably Television & The Talking Heads. In fact, it could have been an impromptu performance by David Byrne himself and the difference couldn’t have been determined. The bottom line: these guys are great. - CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND -
