“‘Everything Breaks’ manages the uncommon trick of being both lovely and urgent…an elegiac litany of facts, descriptions, and/or circumstances, creating a kind of beauty-meets-tragedy atmosphere” — Fingertips Music

“Galapagos is eye-opening in seizing Perry Serpa’s sprawling, elaborate, delectable collective’s dynamism. It sure makes you wish you were there!”

An exquisite sound full of breathy enthusiasm and a grandeur that’s really quite impressive. The Truth Is Like The Sun could be called the Sgt. Pepper of the indie set! — No Depression

“One of the more intriguing releases in quite some time…seamlessly stitches together dozens of different influences into a cohesive quilt of modern pop…not a bum track out of ten!”

“The 10-or-so-piece New York band pillages sophisticated ideas—from its ‘60s chamber-pop forebears, from the Brill Building songwriting factory, from classic French pop, and so on—and infuses its songs with a healthy dose of drama, romanticism and hope.” —New Haven Advocate

“Foxes and Hounds is a magnificent battle between the musically sweet and the lyrically sour, and the Sharp Things are indeed sharp — a serrated carving knife swaddled in velvet.” —The Oklahoman

“Perry Serpa’s New York-based collective dash through 11 tracks, the whirling mass of strings and brass combining with his part Marc Almond, part Steve Winwood singing voice to make songs such as “Boys Club” and “Vacationing” essential additions to the chamber-pop canon.” —London Sunday Times
