IntelligentPop.com review
“Murray’s effusive power pop exudes hooks aplenty but this ear candy also has a solid underbelly… Ants and Angels is a heavenly find.”
– Lee Zimmerman, Entertainment News & Views (Miami, FL)
“Simply, seriously, one of the finest high-brow, sophisticated pop releases of 2006.”
– NotLame.com
“Ants and Angels is consistently entertaining, ultra-musical, and a worthy addition to the Canadian power-pop canon.”
– Don Breithaupt, author of Steely Dan’s Aja (part of the 33-1/3 series) and aka Monkeyhouse
“Ants and Angels ist ein vielschichtiges Album voller Tiefe und Atmosphaere. Die Cleverness von Jason Falkner, Owsley unt XTC trifft auf die Emotionalitaet von Elliot Smith. Meisterwerk!!! 9 out of 10.”
– Robert Pally, SwissRecords.com (Baer, Switzerland)
“This is Pop!”
– Chalkhills Recommends, a guide to CDs that are not “mass-marketed, easy-to-find pabulum,” posted on the XTC fansite Chalkhills
