Rosy cheeks make me think that you’re all that
Your wavy hair flairs out beneath your knitted hat
Your glasses fog, You sip your tea, and blow your nose
Your per-so-na-li-ty must go deeper than your clothes
Are you cute or is it just winter?
I’ve been staring but I can’t decide
Are you the one that I’ve been - dreaming of?
Or is it just way too cold outside?
Frost gathers on your lashes like snow falls on the ground
Your teeth are far too busy chattering to frown
Wait, hold on, who’s that I see?
Just another passerby shivering uncontrollably.
Looking down they took one sip from their cup,
I guess that’s all it took: I think I’m in looooOOOOOVE
Are you cute or is it just winter?
I’ve been staring but I can’t decide
Are you the one that I’ve been - dreaming of?
Or is it just way too cold outside?

I have several problems with a member of this band, so I'm disinclined to like this album. However, exceptional music speaks for itself, and this album really is exceptional, from the guitar work to the vocals to the production. As painful as it is for me to write these words, this is among the best releases of the year and firmly belongs in the collection of anyone who cares about contemporary indiepop. Michael Feck

An Indiepop gem, filled with infectious grooves which occasionally delves into Blondie terroritory, ala Burn Us Down. Love this album and already looking forward to what's lies ahead. Mike Delejewski
