"...an album of breezy melodies, sweet harmonies and sunlit
jangle-pop peppered by deft touches of psychedelia…conveying
themes both universal and intimate as a backyard gathering of friends…"–Isthmus,
Madison
"full
of melodic wispy pop and psychedelic washes of sound…. Catchy,
yet unassuming, this album is beautifully crafted, mid-tempo bliss
with bouncy pop hooks and folk reassurances."–Harmonium
Music
"Saturated
in vibrant harmonies and driven, pop-infused sentiments…”

"Imagine
The Vaselines doing The Mamas And The Papas." Four Stars.-Uncut
"A
disc of minor but immensely appealing pop confections, Detour Allure
arrives awash in fizzy swirls of oohs and ahhs, handclaps and boy/girl
vocals. The result couldn't be more likable...the album sounds as
enduring as it is ingratiating." –Paste
"Johns
expands on the basic singer-songwriter confines, and takes slight
detours into alt-country and Dandy Warhols-esque psychedelic pop.
It's more fun than revolutionary, but it sure goes nicely with a
cool glass of anything." – Giant
"...the
kind of power pop that takes me back to a time I'm not sure ever
existed...Detour Allure rings with an abundance of sharp melodies
and quick tempos"-Pitchfork |
