Listeners are saying:
“It’s easy to get lost in the ethereal and seraphic air of Empty Vessels; the song is mind-blowing for an unsigned band…” – iTunes listener
“One of the most original-sounding bands I’ve heard in a long time.” –North Dakota listener
“I kind of like that they don't quite ever let the cat out of the bag in their music. Although I have to admit, there's a part of me that keeps waiting for the track to morph into one of those big blown out Smashing Pumpkins kind of thing.” Billy Thin, Songshooter.com
“This brought a few things to mind, from The XX to Beach House to going back further something like Lush… personally I'm a fan and I think you guys are making some very cool music…” –California listener
