EARLY PRAISE FOR DESTRUCTION IN YR SOUL
“This is a great record and a great band” – Robin Hilton, NPR All Songs Considered
“This song builds in a beautiful, wonderful way” – Bob Boilen, NPR All Songs Considered, about “Come Back To Life”
“The song’s sound world is comprised of towering guitars and a frail voice whispering at its center, which tells indie rock fans a familiar story of Built to Spill, Mercury Rev, the grandeur of Midwestern loneliness. It’s a timeless sound when done right as it is here…” – Jayson Greene, Pitchfork, about “If It Speaks”
