For all you indie snobs with a shadowy Dave Matthews Band-loving past, this Oakland, California, trio delivers equal parts patchouli-soaked violin and Superchunk-worthy melodies.–RollingStone

The last great indie-rock violinist, The Dambuilders’ Joan Wasser was known for her dark, sawing ardor, but the States’ Genevieve Gagon has a breezy, darting quality that deepens and brightens the hummable angst-purging of singer/guitarist Ted Nesseth. Full of romantic, lefty yearning, Nesseth recalls the sweaty conviction of another Ted (Leo).–SPIN

Buoyant, Bush-baiting pop. –Newsweek

Eschews bobby socks and first kisses for squalling grit à la early-’90s SST tough guys and the noisy theatrics of Dinosaur Jr.–SF Weekly
