ICEBIRD IN TIME OUT NEW YORK
by Mike Wolf
"Icebird's Magnitude (Flying Squirrel) might be the best indie-rock record we've heard out of LA all year. The trio doesn't do anything too special- a dense, at times dark update on early '80's art rock- it just does it well."

INDUCE IN SEATTLE'S STRANGER
by Dave Segal
"Astral-jazz has been subliminally infiltrating hiphop for years as sample fodder, but Miami's Induce foregrounds that style on Cycle. Drawing on the gentlest, most spiritual traits of John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, and Alice Coltrane's music, Induce has crafted one of the most blissed-out hiphop joints ever. Become one with it."

TERA MELOS IN POSITIVELY YEAH YEAH YEAH
by John James
"Jazzy, shadowy, aural tinklings and driving instrumental collage from this Sacramento quartet."
