Press for Big Words and Power Chords
"...an addicting indie pop that is both bouncy and intelligent...it is saturated with sing-along choruses and hooks...gorgeous a cappella vocal harmonies...is what gives this record a texture that is wonderfully thick and velvety at times"
- Michael Walsh, City Pages, November 2008
"..well-crafted and truthfully titled album, "Big Words and Power Chords"...Frontman Mischa Suemnig comes off like a less gravely and grave version of Mike Doughty, and his wry pop is sweetened all the more by bassist and co-vocalist Kellie Nitz in tracks like the punchy opener "Falling to Pieces" and the gushing but irresistible acoustic ditty "Live for Love."
- Chris Reimenschneider, Star Tribune, November 2008
"Every song is strong in its own right, which makes for an excellent listen throughout. It’s a warm, thoroughly-rewarding indie pop record that upholds the importance of
songcraft just as much as a memorable hook—and this album is loaded with both."
- Adven James, Rift Magazine, November 2008
