Here's what the critics are saying about our debut album "Everything I've Forgotten to Forget":

HeroHill.com said it was the 2 Canadian album of the year
TwoWayMonologues.com said it was the 16 overall album of the year
“One of the most beautiful, intimate and intricate albums of the year…the album is relentlessly god-like in its songwriting and arrangements.” -Some Velvet Blog
“A collision of folk song intimacy and classic rock anthemicism, fused together by a deep melodic and melancholic streak.” -Chromewaves.net
“A tour-de-force of indie-pop mastery and one of 2007’s hidden gems.” -StereoSubversion.com
“Wiry folk/indie pop that sways and swells with amazing precision.” -HeroHill.com
“Smooth, versatile and intricate…one of the best kept secrets of the year in Canadian indie rock.” -ItsNotTheBandsIHateItsTheirFans Blog
“Quite possibly the best band to come out of Ottawa since…well, maybe since forever. Everything I’ve Forgotten to Forget is an interesting concoction of many different, familiar genres, making it feel like home even at your first stay.” -TwoWayMonologues.com
