"The electro-punk trio earned its share of Pitchfork love for its buzzing, energetic yet oddly dreamy approach to synthesized minimalism. Live, it's even more of a rush". - LA Times
This amazing debut from Brooklyn's RAVENS &
CHIMES exhibits an indie folk pop personality with aromas of Wolf
Parade, Voxtrot or Bright Eyes. An explosive well-balanced richness
and texture unfolds track by track, powerfully, yet gently. Hints of
Leonard Cohen or Bob Dylan linger through the finish. Perfectly
complements any meal.
"Full of regret, hard-won wisdom and DIY pop
artistry, No Need To Be Downhearted transcends bog standard indie to
build a world of sophisticated melody and ingenious arrangements" - 4
out of 5 stars - Mojo Magazine
