"With the studious pitter-pat of fluid basslines, sophisticated rhythms, and chilly and cerebral atmosphere, it's sound and feel will be familiar (especially to native Chicagoans), but this is more insistent and less heady -- Chandeliers mostly want you to dance, in your own stilted, highly disciplined way."

"Mesmerizing minimalist synth tweakers" - –Time Out Chicago

"These Chicago kids do it up right, with memorable jams that could either rock the spot or numb your brain at the proper bar" - –XLR8R

"They are banging yet hypnotising, catchy yet freaky, maverick live-electronics insterspersed with jazzy broken layers of rhythmic orgies....Psychrock, obscure OST's,

early electro, shoegaze, disco, and Dilla's bounce melt into one giant sonic lightbulb"

–Lowdown Magazine

"Chicago's Chandeliers, who played the Hexagon the night before, are fantastic without qualification. The foursome plays a sort of DFA disco-rock --instrumental (mostly), heavily rhythmic (not house-y, really), with a shitton of synthesizer. It makes you wonder why James Murphy is signing a twee lap-pop dude when something this great is out there. Fear of getting upstaged? Yes, it's that good. The room, all of it, bobbed and flailed approvingly."–Baltimore City Paper

"This Chi-town band has crafted smart party music that's perfect for whichever hipster-strewn loft space they may next find themselves in" –Lost at Sea

"The opening of "Mr. Electric" flick between Ed Banger directness and a Kraftwerk-like neon lyricism.The remix of Body Double closes the albumin a furious hustle of Afrobeat drumming and rich Italo disco keyboards. In between, the synths mesh into arpeggios that seem as influenced by the post-punk end of the disco spectrum as Giorgio Moroder" –The WIRE

"The Thrush revels in electro-funk’s prime years and packs in enough musical references—from Zapp and Kraftwerk in the 70s to Moroder and Prince in the 80s—to safely imply that everyone involved has an absolutely killer record collection....

'Body Double,' with a Moroder-esque drive muted and its sharp edges rounded is a return to the same type of groove that opens the album brings things satisfyingly full circle. I don’t know whether Chandeliers plotted this looping effect to encourage putting the disc on repeat, but it works. I speak from experience." –Chicago Reader

"Chandeliers specialise in live action electro, using lush synths, fruity squelch bass and real-time drums to create rettro-futurist nerd-core party anthems - operating out of a parallel universe where the post seventies avant rock scene turned its back on guitars and got hip to the sweaty pulse of Giorgio Moroder instead, mining the same vein as Can's monumental grooves." –Plan B Magazine
