Quotes:
Listening to The Birth of Wonder with its haunted nostalgias and strings that somehow manage to sound like gypsy gulls, you start to get a feel for just the sort of wonder that obsesses Dave Doobinin -- a wonder about the other. He throws a wide swath of sympathetic imagination over the earth -- like a human lighthouse
-- calmly infusing his wonder into the lives of others. These songs are gorgeous escapes into unlit lives -- with moments of free sound in which your own wonder seems to fuse with his.
Priscilla Becker --- pop music reviewer (The Nation, Filter)
"It seems with little exertion he has created something other artists tirelessly chase.Doobinins sound is littered with notable influences from Simon and Garfunkel to Neil Young. One Station Away reminds me of David Dondero or something that might come from Joseph Arthur or Bright Eyes if they had more of a pop influence. Doobinin is often compared to Elliot Smith for the folk like story telling he incorporates into his work...the connection is valid."- Trevor Dye, 1340 Mag
"Doobinin's lyrics are poignant and often sad...i found myself humming the tunes hours after listening... this album captured me on an intellectual level unlike most popular music." -Left Hip magazine
"One Station Away is a collection of haunting tracks, as dark as Elliott Smith and as political and lyrically driven as Neil Young." - Houston Press
"Dave's new record is powerful"- Vin Scelsa (WFUV, 90.7fm, NYC).
