“Synthesizers shiver twinkling electronic flourishes. Horns blare from every precipice.” -Treble
“..there's something profoundly magical about this band.”
“…there's a humanity and vulnerability that seeps through these notes, transcending their budgets and their surroundings. It's a Major Label album on a nothing budget. It is under these circumstances that the best music is often made.” -globecat.blogspot.com
"On 'Cold Hands Warm Heart' (the horns) blurt and do a run of the melody as (Marches' vocalist Briana) Nadeau trades a few vocal lines with Marches’ mastermind Richard Conti until Conti’s line becomes a piano’s and Nadeau’s parsing the song title into pretty catharsis." -cokemachineglow.com
"The Marches have proven on their debut album that they have what it takes to stand out in a genre oversaturated with mediocrity." -30music.com
At some point during my first listen, the following artists popped into my head (in no particular order): LCD Soundsystem, St. Vincent, Beach Boys, and Imogen Heap. And that’s just the first five tracks. Sit with the disc for long enough, and you might even discover a little Diana Ross, and Bach. -Delusions of Adequacy
"The Marches are actually impossible to pigeon-hole and entirely better for it." - Americana UK
"When Conti and his mates settle into serious music, their talent is undeniable. This is the band you want to hear in a club—full of surprises, somewhat chaotic, and able to do anything they want. -Berkeley Place
“Their new album 4 a.m. Is The New Midnight wraps the slippery underbelly of humanity in a warm embrace.” -Tough Customer
“Cocky Coolness” -Surviving the Golden Age
