"Thanks to three North vs. South music festivals in Lawrence, the pipeline of under-the-radar Austin, Texas, acts coming to the area is busier than ever. Youngmond Grand has already made multiple trips north, but the tuneful outfit is going full force this time around with four shows in three days. Trafficking in dancey, synthed-out indie pop and sumptuous sing-alongs, the classy quintet is plenty deserving of a surrogate scene." - Richard Gintowt, Pitch.com
"A strong debut from the heirs to Fivehead’s ragged indie-rock throne. If you don’t recognize yourself or your friends in "Break Guitars," then you obviously don’t live in Austin." - Christopher Gray, The Austin Chronicle
"Melodic indie rock... exploding in spurts of volcanic cinder. Twinkling guitar lines offset the intensity." - Darcie Stevens, The Austin Chronicle
"... The album gently sways from soaring melodies to caustic dissonance rather than jumping from chorus to verse without even a mild bridge. Not bad."
- J-Sin, Smother.net
"39. - Youngmond Grand - Pressing the Holes - The Sculptures Fall EP"

The name changed. And the personnel. And the songs. But we're really the same band we were before. Except we don't get shitfaced before we play anymore.
It is nice. I just played Continental Club in Houston last night w/ Spoiled Royals. You guys should parlay this shit and get in there. I'ma try to make it out tonight! Break a leg! Camboni
