"Naive" - KEXP's Song of the Day , October 15, 2007
"If you don't own a Dolour record, this would be a good place to start, as Shane Tutmarc sounds reborn and the recording consists largely of live in-studio takes. And after this is well digested, dig out his entire back catalog. A MUST-HAVE ALBUM by a must-hear artist, end of discussion." - The Black and White Mag.com
"The latest is a monster 19 song effort of creative pop ranging from the upbeat to the moody, and there is no filler, amazing for a record this long. It's hard not to argue that he's one of the best songwriters in town." - John Richards, KEXP
"It's been over three years since the last sunshiny release from Seattle pop masters Dolour, and after hearing the The Years in the Wilderness, we know it's been worth the wait. Come welcome back the return of Seattle's best Pet Sounds-flavored pop band." - The Three Imaginary Girls
Sounds Like: "Last night I checked out the two albums soon to be released by Seattle’s Dolour; “Storm and Stressâ€, which seems to be a more electrified take on XTC’s “Oranges and Lemonsâ€, and “Hell or Highwaterâ€, which is a brilliant indie rock update on “Pet Soundsâ€. NOT the High Llamas in sheep’s clothing, mind you—Dolour’s music is American indie rock in its soul, and the work stands on its own." - Ken Stringfellow
