“Gary Reynolds is one of Seattle's hardest working and - ironically, given the name of his band — most unsung fountains of song. Prolific by almost any standard, Reynolds and the Brides of Obscurity now return with another batch of heartfelt, well-read pop/rock gems.

As on 2005's Instant Happiness and 2007's Extended Play EP, The Brides provide a competent complement to Reynolds' confident frontman swagger, and once a revolving stable of kindred spirits, they have coalesced into a regular quintet for Santiago's Vest. Guitarist Don Durham, keyboardist Jeremy Manley, bassist Justin Friesen, and drummer Perry Morgan instrumentally evoke Reynolds' precious confections with the skill of dedicated craftsmen.”
