Here's what some press people have to say:
"By now, there's something unmistakable about the sound of Tangerine -- the way the singer's brooding baritone reinforces the gravity of tracks that in a lot of ways suggest a cross between The Church and early R.E.M."
- Post-Gazette
"Comparisons to Pink Floyd and the Church are valid, yet only begin to describe this talented band's guitar-oriented, melodic sound"
- Tribune-Review
"...the deepest voice this side of the Tindersticks."
- The Sentimentalist Magazine
"Blending lush dream pop (The Church) with sensitive balladry (Paul Westerberg), the Pittsburgh foursome triumph with their self-released six-song CD, creating addictive, moody landscapes underneath singer Tony Matz's gravely, emotive vocals."
- Pork Tartare
