"While the sound is certainly expansive, Leopold and His Fiction also manages to exude a certain kind of folk-tinged, backwoods charm that makes them much more than just a straight up rock-and-roll band."
--NPR Second Stage

"Leopold And His Fiction manages these small, amusing feats but more importantly Daniel James is a wicked good songwriter-musician capable of evoking some primo ancestors over the course of this dead solid, warmly wrapped 11-song effort."
--Jambase

"Sublime, stabbing, psychedelia."
– Pop Matters

"If you are wondering where the soul of Mercury Rev went, it may just
have followed former member Jason Russo after his departure from the
legendary unit."
--Exclaim! Magazine

"Not a soundtrack, but cinematic in its own right—a moody, twang-driven opus full of dark overtones and sun-drenched hysteria."
- CRAWDADDY

"Reminiscent of such greats as Ennio Morricone and The Ventures, Spindrift creates an atmospheric soundscape where desert meets the sea."
- EVIL MONITO MAGAZINE
