"Rich with vivid imagery and lush, playful arrangements, Jonathan Price and his piano-man voice lead you through all manner of intrigue and orchestral derring-do"
   -LA Times Buzz Bands

"Listening to I Make This Sound play live was like having your dreams come through a broken cell phone signal."
   -Classical Geek Theatre

"Escapists at heart, on their newest offering, the ambitious seven-piece dances around myriad genres, all connected by an emotional and lyrical theme. The result is essentially a band-made mix tape – one that I chose to believe was made solely for my benefit"
   -Confessions of a Would-Be Hipster

"An affable mix of pop hooks and odd time signatures, mixed with some rainbow sprinkles, makes for a devilish cookie batter that one can’t help but devour before cooking. Check out "One, Two, Three!", which should be the archetype of a modern pop song."
   -Chocolate Bobka

"We just like the way this sounds while dancing around and cleaning the kitchen."
   -Milk Milk Lemonade

"Charting your listening pleasure through bass lines, fuzzing guitars, and keyboards twinkling like a young lady’s panties during love at first sight."
   -LA Weekly

"I can’t even begin to imagine how to correlate twinkling panties to the songs on their debut EP Everything Means Something--if we’re really trying to push sex as a metaphor I’d say the panties would already be on the floor--but why don’t you just listen for yourselves..."
   -I Guess I’m Floating

"Everything Means Something is that rare EP that opens strongly and gets better with each passing song, and proves once again that great songwriting, arranging, and singing never goes out of style."
   -Textura
Type of LabelNone

Ok this is getting out of hand, the socks are still missing and now I can't find my left shoe! Apparently job well done, despite feedback and Mike's cymbal malfunction.

Did you think we wouldn't notice that you wrote the chorus of Journey's "Any way you want it" into the bridge of "One two three"? Tisk tisk.
I say you embrace it!
