"minimal tropicalia and druid moans run wild...note the especially stoic “Honey Island” for which there is a video...full and plentiful in sound, ranging from ambient jives to 80s new wave ballads."

"The Never Years comes across, at least somewhat, like an early Radio Dept. However, the vocals are deeper and have a sadness unaccounted for in that other group...Given these sounds, one would expect them to hail from some exotic land – Sweden perhaps, or New York...No, they come from Houston. Well played, Texas."

"I had never heard of them but now I want more..."
--- Site Of Sound

"...stunning pop gem “Honey Island”, features lovely aquatic adventures that will most likely render you nostalgic for summertime dips in the ocean."
