Throw Me The Statue is a band. Keyboards, guitars, drums -- that kind of stuff.
"This standout track ("Lolita") has the straightahead bedroom vocals of Guided by Voices, the lilting pop instincts of fellow Seattleites the Long Winters, and chutes-and-ladders melodies recalling the Shins. All are in service of a breezy July-afternoon song full of ramshackle bells, electronic beats, and simple, chugging guitars.”
- Pitchfork Media
"TMTS throws a perfect storm of clatter into his homey pop...The absolutely addictive "Lolita" hits like Bob Pollard's beloved Kinks asking us to, please, come dancing."
- Stereogum
"This guy is from Seattle, and, good lord, he is good!"
- USA TODAY Pop Candy
"Offering a breed of ludicrously melodic synth-driven pop."
- The Guardian
"Moonbeams, the debut album from the group, is a collection of catchy, upbeat indie pop with enough experimental twists and turns to keep it interesting..”
- NPR
"88%. A captivating set of songs that begs for repeated listens.”
- Filter Magazine
"Throw Me the Statue’s live show is wildly energetic...an abandon grounded by serious musicianship."
- The Stranger Weekly Blog
"Scott Reitherman's bedroom pop - catchy melodies, uke and synth, part Guided By Voices & part Magnetic Fields, - wields a wistfulness that's sometimes breathtaking."
- Said The Gramophone
"Nods to everything from Of Montreal to the Beach Boys make his a tough sound to corral, and that’s the beauty of it."
- Seattle Weekly
"One of the catchiest and most enjoyable indie records of the summer."
- I Guess I'm Floating
Im Moving to Capitol Hill Seattle next month from Southern California, and i cant wait, it sucks where i live and i recently went on a trip to Seattle/Tacoma and really liked it there....the block party sounds awesome...looking forward to checking out your shows in the future.... Your music is rad!
So I was walking through the living room yesterday and I heard Lolita playing, freaked out, and discovered that Rhapsody's featuring you in their newest commercial. Awesome!
Your own little joe is debuting our hipster confucius zine next month. Sorry I could not make it to the gig last last night! I would've enjoyed an interview.
