press for MONUMENT -
"Monument is at all times ominous, somber, and melancholy, a razor blade to the listening vein, pouring out catharsis with every track. ... "Great Lakes" is a darkly beautiful gem, which vaguely pulls forth a comparison to Portishead ... The perfect soundtrack to short days and long nights, Monument is one more example of great music in the Baltimore/DC metro." -

"In the end, this is a solid release from a promising band." - Instrumental Analysis
.".. [L]isten to the band cast its spell with beautifully disquieting parallel piano and guitar melodies in Great Lakes, and the searing guitar at the end of the entrancing Mary. " - A Smudge of Ashen Fluff
"The band's debut introduces them in a statuesque, yet forceful, mood ... "The Dakota" shimmers as guitars, drums, and vocals take turns racing through rain-soaked city streets. While there's an overall slow pace to Monument, individual melodic patterns and rhythms add a solid sense of agility." - QRO Magazine
"The sound is fairly complex, with echoing guitars spinning around choppy drumming and bass. ... Joao Malhinha's drumming sounds like Larry Mullen, Jr. on an early 80s U2 album." - DCist
press for "WOLVES" +4 -
"...the other four songs on their EP...are darn good listening too--a little bit like Interpol or British Sea Power, with dark melodies and strong vocals. There's a lot of promise in these tracks..." - Speed of Dark
"Five tracks which will leave you wanting more, ... their music is quite mesmerizing, Invincible Summer literally sent shivers down my spine..." - Untitled
“[city-state] are creating a smart, hypnotic sound. The delightfully defeated sounds of Invincible Summer gave me a shiver.” - Washington City Paper
“I can't help but also hear Peter Murphy and Bauhaus in their sound” - Twangville

"California's Lee Bob Watson lives on slide guitar, scoffs at dancerock, and tries his damndest to make Johnny Cash proud. But on his latest album, Aficionado, Watson pairs his cowboy hat with Chuck Taylor's and adds an indie-rock flavor to his country roots."
