"Drawling over chugging guitars, these Kentuckians sound totally garaged-out and haggard, but still boyishly in love with the power of rock." - SPIN Magazine
"guitar-based power pop that�s jangly, fuzzy and full of infectious energy." - The Onion
"the Apparitions manage to blend modern rock and �60s psychedelic into one happy, unpredictable mix.
" - Performing Songwriter
"an apocalyptic science fiction collection. The lush, densely packed riffs and harmonies are sunny on the surface, but the songs have a sinister bite underneath--imagine the Flaming Lips turned dystopian and mean." - Chicago Reader
"The Apparitions are proof that great post punk isn�t only found in the five boroughs or the UK." - Sonic Slang - various CD review quotes...
