"Emily Jane White is a rare solo performer who can cut through noisy club din and turn antsy foot traffic into apt listeners. Her voice pierces the egos of those within earshot; it's a low, lilting alto, often compared to Chan Marshall and Hope Sandoval. Ghostly melodies float through her songs on ornate piano passages and simple guitar figures..."

They spent much of 2006 on the road with Tapes 'n Tapes, Figurines, Sound Team, and Editors and appeared at..."

"Shooting Rockets (From the Desk of Night's Ape)" is the sixth song on Destroyer's Trouble In Dreams, and serves as a centerpiece, not only for this album (his eighth), but seemingly for Dan Bejar's entire recorded output. It is a sprawling anthem with shifting layers of guitars and synthesizers from which the rest of Trouble In Dreams spins and cycles just to the edge of chaos and back..."

"Few bands of any genre, however, could match the Dead at their best-fluid, open-eared interchanges, ecstatic mood swings, visceral impact. The Dead created a new form of American music. Like Jimi Hendrix, though they had imitators, they remained sui generis..."
