“This album is so daringly original and well nuanced, it defies both comparisons and expectations.” — No Depression

“Live At Galapagos Art Space ticks off all the right boxes and more…orchestral pop at its best.”

“Simply jaw-on-the-floor beautiful! The Truth is Like the Sun boasts some of the best songs in the band’s nearly 15 years together.”
— Blurt

“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!”
— Pop That Goes Crunch!

“This album is rich, deep, full, and at times revelatory. And yet wasn’t recorded in a studio! This is Orchestral Pop of the highest order. It’s The Mamas and the Papas with strings. It’s a more contemporary, less preachy Blood Sweat and Tears.” —Berkeley Place

“A beautifully-conceived album written with skill and imagination and executed with considerable aplomb. With Foxes and Hounds The Sharp Things are surely in the hunt.” —Whisperin and Hollerin

“Musically, this is head-shaking astonishing, alternately recalling The Smiths, Divine Comedy, the Bad Seeds and even early Elton John, a sort of grandiose collision of English folk and chamber music, with jazz and country flourishes.” —Flaunt
