Who Gives Kudos:


Friday, February 15, 2008 

If this review gushes to the point of sycophancy, it's only because Pseudosix deserves more than just a fair shake on a rigged bet. They deserve to a wider frame of acclaim, making music with more depth, soul, and goose-bump emotional punch than hundreds of other bands tinkling the keys, scribbling some slide guitar in, and then calling themselves the sensitive lads who never get the girl. Pseudosix will confound you, cotton you in cold comfort, and salvage your deepest brokenness by rendering it unbearably beautiful ~ AmplifierMagazine


"winningly original" and "breathtaking." ~ CMJ


A thoroughly fine record from a consistently amazing voice that deserves our attention ~ Sea of Tranquility


We've all heard it—the album is dead. Well, apparently somebody forgot to tell Portland's Tim Perry, whose band, Pseudosix, has put together an honest-to-goodness album, not just a collection of iTunes singles ~ The Stranger


They are a pristine example of a tempered band; a musical outfit whose emotional range and loose instrumental builds are properly curbed by restraint and a dedication to the "less is more" philosophy ~ Portland Mercury


Pseudosix tidily merge the role of the mega-vulnerable songwriter with the burned-out, late-night California drive that only a 70s supergroup could've mustered, on their latest self-titled record. It shouldn't work, but it does...What do they feed musicians in Portland so they get to have taste and chops? ~ Pitchfork


There are so many gorgeous harmonies that your brain feels as if it may be wrapped in warm voile. Not a bad track here exists, and few things are nicer than that ~ Tiny Mix Tapes


The songs are sparkling and well-crafted pop gems with a darker, more complicated underbelly...the harmonies, the lush but not overdone instrumentation and the scope of influences are all reason to give this record a listen, but I find myself most impressed with how goddamn good these guitars sound. ~ Flux


Pseudosix is able to create tracks of jazz-tinged, folk-inspired, burned-out slow jams that are at once raw, restrained, intimate, entrancing, and creative, but also perfectly in sync with each other. The album blends together into a unique experience of carefully crafted sonic components that each contribute to a disc perfect for throwing on when you need music that makes you think. Or feel. Or simply listen. Ultimately what matters is that this album is full of authentic music. ~ PopMatters

just cuz tim perry's rich vocals get garbled while he's chomping on our vaginas does not make pseudosix a piss in the dark...on the contrary; their very eloquence denotes this. -the portland rappers union.
