VOICES ABOUT SAMURAJ CITIES & OUR ALBUM CHEAP DELUXE:
“…there are occasions when a Swedish group releases something that makes everything else unimportant. Compilations from Imperial Recordings have indicated that Samuraj Citites were getting somewhere, but that it was as this big… Jesus. On the band’s website it says: ”music from one of Sweden’s hopes for a new beginning”. This can be interpreted dystopically, but if the end of the world sounds like this, then I welcome Armageddon” - Wahll..f and Wenn.., Dagens Nyheter
8/10 "most of all, it's a really cool record with subversively catchy melodies that demand repeated listening. Shoulda been on my 2006 Top 10". - Nancy Baym, It's a Trap!
4/5 “Shimmering and enchanting” - Torbj..rn Carlsson, Smålandsposten
4/6 “If you have read any indie blog at all over the last months, you have hardly missed the name Samuraj Cities. This Gothenburg duo started the talk before the debut “Cheap Deluxe” And I see why people are talking.” - Stefan Malmquist, Svenska Dagbladet
4/5 ”I have been looking forward to this album.”- Bo Str..mberg, Smålandsposten
4/5 ”The band Samuraj Citites from Gothenburg started off last year and they have already a very nice debut album to offer us. Good job.” - Jonas Bref..lt, V..rmlands Folkblad
4/5 ”…a safe place in my heart.” - Frida F..rlin, Arbetarbladet
"..Samuraj Cities delivers. And with a bang I might add. Uncompromising as a supporting act for indie-darlings Ladytron, these guys never made an effort to reach out and play the easy cards. It's dark, gloomy and right up my alley" - Livereview Malmo, Jonas Appelqvist- itsatrap
”Strong and promising.” - Claes Olson, NMB
”Album of the year” - Absolut Noise, Paris
”Album of the week” - Radio Blau, Leipzig
”Samuraj Cities have hijacked my heart! Remember when you first heard Arcade Fire and fell to the floor and buzzed around in a frenzy touting, no doubt uncontrollably, about their brilliance? Well, today I bring you something better.” - Strawberry Fire, New York
”… impressive sense for melodies”. - Andres Lokko, Svenska Dagbladet
”…vi sprangde ett par hogtalare i fredags nar vi lira THXA1000000! Skivan ar sjukt bra!”… - Nicklas, Clubbentz
”…everything that is needed for this duo to conquer the world. There is a lot to be expected in the future.” - Groove
