More praise for Moon Taxi and Mountains Beaches Cities:
"Mountains Beaches Cities is the band's third album of infectious, melodically rich indie rock and pop songs, and it's their best yet." - XPN The Key

"...shape-shifting, sleekly catchy, brilliantly prismatic Mountains Beaches Cities, they have every right to be pleased with themselves. It's the handiwork of musicians who haven't dumbed things down as much as harnessed their musical intelligence and exploratory spirits into New Wave-informed pop smarts."  - Relix

"Our new favorite band" - MTV

"A new artist on the rise" - NPR
"Nashville rockers unleash similar guitar funk, with Kings of Leon-ish Southern strut." - Entertainment Weekly

"Moon Taxi has been one of Nashville's best kept secrets since its formation in 2006...the band combined its jam-band ethos with the newfound radio friendly pop." - American Songwriter
