Here is what the critics had to say about their break-through ep, "When the Sea Became a Giant"
"Earnest and concordantly so, 'When the Sea Became a Giant' is an engrossing effort that powerfully plays with our nostalgia and unforced love of beauty"
-Absolute Punk
"The beauty and honesty of their music is unsurpassed by many in today’s scene, you’re forced to listen to every note, your heart won’t let you pull away"
-Rise and Revolt
"These five songs have the striking ability to take you back in time to when the word emo meant something entirely different than what it has morphed into"
-Sound as Language
"Beautiful melodies and off-rhythms that are seemingly guaranteed to shine a light on your broken heart and let you know that you’re not the only one"
-Smother
