Praise for the 2014 Tibet House US Benefit Concert:
“…concert attendees rushing toward the stage looked as if they might tear the building apart.” – New York Times

“…an evening of unexpected collaborations…” – Wall Street Journal

“For a few glorious moments, New York's Carnegie Hall devolved into a scene straight out of a CBGB fever dream…many in the crowd could no longer take it, storming to the front of the stage and going completely apeshit. It was the kind of scene only possible at the Tibet House benefit…” - Rolling Stone

Praise for The Bright Light Social Hour:
“No matter how much research you put into figuring out who will be the hottest new artists of each year, another act comes into your vision with an output that absolutely blows you away.” – The Huffington Post

“’Slipstream’, is a lush, space-western odyssey. Rolling in with a plodding bass line and restrained drumming, the track builds slowly before a hypnotic guitar riff oozes into the mix.’” – Consequence of Sound

“This band brings a live rawness that masterfully bleeds into their records. It’s an unmatched je ne sais quoi that makes their sound relatable to the listener and devoid of condescension” – Life + Times

“The once psych-rock track [Infinite Cities (Francis Preve Remix)] has a whole new sound that may surprise you, as it has taken on a house beat to carry you straight onto the dance floor.” – Earmilk
