"Sleekly streamlined and propulsive with strong melodic elements amidst a churning, soaring roar. Methodical and soulful, precise yet heartfelt, grand and intimate." - Dream Magazine (USA, December 2008)
"a brooding Willard Grantish piece...menace and emotion...instantly memorable and powerful..." - Americana UK (December, 2008)
" energetic and yet so cool pop that's been a staple since, well, the Beatles......an impressive range...A most impressive set. I'll queue up for the full-length. - Aiding & Abetting (USA, Issue #303, December 2008)
... a fantastic five-song (plus alternate demo) debut from Oxford, U.K. vets...incorporating its elements into an exciting fuzzy pop that's as spirited as it is amazingly moody like threatening skies - THE BIG TAKEOVER (Fall 2008 Issue #63)
"There's something to be said for pacing when you're making art...starts with that simple guitar chugging...then it all kicks in... Awesome." - MUSIC FOR ROBOTS (November 2008)
" it's got the goods you'd expect from people who have played in JAMC and Ride...noise-pop as Yo La Tengo...motors down the highway wearing black sunglasses and a leather jacket." -Advance Copy (USA, October 2008)
"...sheets of bright noise...A Byrdsian groove...blissed out vocals...it's glorious stuff...a great introduction to the band" - Oxford Music Scene (UK, October, 2008)
"Heart is Black is a six song EP for the International Jetsetters debut. Most debut EPs are meant to be used to secure a record deal and often sound shaky and thin. This EP though is definitely a first class debut of a great album that will surely follow." - (music-reviewer.com)
"A swelling cacophony of cosmic beauty that pulses and throbs with a raw wantonness, whilst containing such power therein, that they could, quite possibly make distant stars implode." - (von-pip musical express)
"Their debut EP Heart is Black, dropped in the fall of last year and is a startling collection of guitar-based nuggets that crackle and blister" - (absolutepunk.net)
"A fantastic first release." - (pennyblackmusic.co.uk)
"gorgeous, tight and shimmering...sweet harmonies and sweeter power pop guitar riffs... extremely worthwhile and wonderful listen worth repeating." - (pop matters)
"From the narcotic fuzz of Spacemen 3 to the insistent jangle and drone of The Wedding Present, and lifted spaceward by singer Fi McFall's ethereal vocals, they're dark and dreamy but they rock like bastards." (Nightshift Magazine, May 2008)
