"Javelins have created the perfect summer record for 2008. From the very first shimmery wall of guitar, every note of Heavy Meadows is capable of sticking to a listener's heart and brain." - Metro Times
"Javelins have gone the extra mile on all fronts.... literate, orchestral pop, heightened by their ear for whirling futuristic breakneck rock." - Real Detroit Weekly
"Javelins didn’t just write a collection of random songs. They aimed to achieve a cohesive work of art, capturing in music the contradictory nature of the wounded lover.... this is the sound of zero gravity." - Detour Magazine
"Whether it’s the small thread of psychedelia running throughout the album, the lush instrumentation, driving guitars, danciness, expansiveness, smoky-yet-sharp feel — I’ve found myself enjoying each one." - Buzzgrinder.com
"Jangly and dreamy, but also poppy. and Awesome." - Relevant Magazine

Julian. I forgot I borrowed your guitar cable because I am a thoughtless asshole. If you managed to get it back, that's awesome. If not, it will be replaced. I hope we can still be all bff.
More good news: "Heavy Meadows" ranked #16 on our top 30 chart for the entire month of July! Personally, I can't get enough of "Out On The Sand" -- a fantastic song for all seasons, but especially summer!
