Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

An ecstatic mix of everything cool: Krautrock, Shoegaze, Indie Rock, Noise, as well as an endless abundance of melodies and riffs that have worked their way into my brain ceaselessly over the last few months. One of 2020's standout LPs. Admo
Occult psych-folk in the '70s U.K. tradition that further affirms the historical link between Appalachian and British folk songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 8, 2019
Winter McQuinn mixes soft rock and psychedelic folk for a sound reminiscent of classic pop purveyors like Cut Worms and the Lemon Twigs. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2024
An incredible combination of melancholic sing-along crooners that always end up with a little bright edge to them. The classic alternative rock sound is here, but somehow wrapped in a candy coating only capable of coming from the Bandcamp era. No misplaced or ill-though-out instrumentation, intriguing but accessible lyrics. The onus is on everyone else to dethrone what is undoubtedly my album of the year so far. It'll take quite a bit to do so. Taylor Thurlow
