"DOZENS"

"Independent pop at its best, extremely catchy" - Indie Track of the Day


"Forget Me - Review"

"The intro of “Forget Me” could easily find itself on a MGMT record, but the track’s funky, dream pop vibe could be more accurately described as Hall & Oates with more sweeping, upbeat synths. Yes, Forget Me's beat bounces in all the right places while the vocals get serious and soulful." - Loud Loop Press


"Forget Me - Review"

"Forget Me is like a sonic chigger - burrowing deep in our ears and refusing to let go. Not a difficult thing considering this Chicago trio knows all the right pop buttons to push - sweeping 80s’ synths, head bobbing beats...it’s pure pop bait and worth every listen." - Transient Jukebox


"Forget Me - Review"

“Forget Me hits all the right catchy pop buttons; its 80′s-hazed supply of dreamy synths, slight touch of digi-funk and peaks of falsetto making the tune a fetching slice of relationship soap opera drama one won’t mind hearing again and again." - Mixtape Maestro


"Forget Me - Review"

"These synthpop scientists have acquired every ingredient to a romance song and masterfully concocted “Forget Me” for all of us belt aloud. If I had a girlfriend, I would break up with her just so I could live this song." - Friends With Both Arms


"Dozens (Debut EP) Review"

"Beginning with a brilliant and teeming seascape—one of the most effective I’ve heard grafted onto a rock song... Anyone already departing for land might regret not sticking around for Dozens' debut EP side B... it’s a sound the Dozens do very, very well...Their pace is frantic; their mood thick with dope." - Coke Machine Glow


"Dozens (Debut EP) Review"

"This bizarrely bold and varied 20 minute sit broke past yesterday's early speed dating by 11am to pretty much own my afternoon...Dozens EP is a curve ball, throwing harmonies against swift talk-verses and the occasional scream, a traditional trio of instruments against organ and brass...and you guessed it, sand against space." - Stadiums and Shrines


"Sounds of Your Lovers - Review"

"Sounds Of Your Lovers is a melodic masterpiece...the sound of electric guitars fuses with an up-beat piano riff to provide a fitting backdrop for an excellent chorus." - FMV Magazine


"Sounds of Your Lovers - Review"

“Sounds Of Your Lovers has been on repeat all weekend – on the laptop, in the car, or wherever else we were able to plug the iPod in. Coming across all Empire Of The Sun, Passion Pit and a little bit Miami Horror, this is an exuberant, arms aloft – and ultimately summery – noise ... it’ll leave an indelible mark in your consciousness after just one listen, so insistent is its chorus." - Laissez Faire Club


"Sounds of Your Lovers - Review"

"Dozens unleash a barrage of sweet, sweet harmonies on "Sounds Of Your Lovers", which is an arena ready, power-pop singalong. From the reverse-waterfall keyboard at the song's start to the ELO-esque guitars that propel the chorus, the song is a fun one." - Loud Loop Press


"Don't Look Away - Review"

"The melodic new single "Don't Look Away" from Dozens comes with a sing-along chorus and will definitely get stuck in your head" - Music-AllNew.com


"Reach Out - Review"

"A chest-swelling piece where the bursting synths and sheer atmosphere yield an air of dreaminess that is infused with hope." - AUPIUM
