"A polished and multi-layered exploration of danceable beats, synthesized textures and industrial riffing, the album is rounded out with early Bowie-esque vocals and dark sensibilities. It's an absorbing venture into sonic territory that's as rich as it is modernistic."

SOME BY SEA

"...in the mould of alternative darlings such as Death Cab for Cutie and The Shins. Angular, indie-pop with layers of wonderful depth, Some By Sea also recall tunesmiths such as Fountains of Wayne, Marcy Playground and XTC. The carefully interwoven acoustic/ electric guitar layers, cello, vocal backing, and piano behind clever, Snow Patrol/ Reindeer Section-like lyrics more than tops Death Cab in appeal. Steering away from The Shins’ occasional smug artifice, Get Off The Ground has some outstanding songs with massive dramatic tension between angst-ridden verses and sweetly resolved choruses."
