SAID THE GRAMOPHONE: DETECTORS IN THE EYES "The song's sound at first seems dated, dyed in the pastel shades of late-90s trance. But within moments the cascade is everywhere-- these ringing bells, these glowing synths, like a room filled with butterfly wings. Much more The Knife than Paul Oakenfold, Shapiro has made a proper song, like Douglas Coupland's "slot machines clanging out silver dollars, rubies, and sugar candies." A clarion of kisses.

ABCNEWS.COM: ANDREW SHAPIRO "A Philip Glass protégé who knows his minimalism, but isn't averse to simple melody. This NYC composer bridges the gap between aggressive avant-gardism and abstract dream pop. Fans of Sigur Ros ought to thrill at finding such a properly hypnotic state-sider."

THE DELI: DETECTORS IN THE EYES "Every week we bring you the best mp3s...If you haven't had much sleep lately (like us), this ambient-pop, gorgeously lush track might lull you into a power nap and awaken the daydreamer in you."
