Fang Island describes its sound as "everyone high-fiving everyone." And, the Brooklyn quintet's anthemic and soaring songs make it quite possibly one of few bands befitting such description. It's finger-tapping guitar lines, changed vocals, triumphant harmonies and overall perky songs hearken to the sort of "Total Music" of the Fucking Champs, Jay Reatard, Ponytail, Kraftwerk, Marnie Stern, Thin Lizzy, et. al.

"A triumphant, heavily riffed, primarily instrumental epic, whiplashing through six minutes of smiling prog jams, and as many tempos as passages, before settling into one last minute of uplifting chants."- Stereogum

"If this is the arena rock of the future, send me an invite, okay?" - Pitchfork (View video for "Daisy" @ www.pitchfork.com)

"Life-affirming prog guitar anthems." - The Seattle Stranger

“Already causing a commotion, ‘Daisy’ is well worth the buzz. Its electro-organ intro, accompanied by chanted vocals, eases into sophisticated fretwork that soars.” - Magnet

“There isn't a song here that isn't soaked in suger-fuelled feel good excitement.” - Sputnik Music [4.4/5]
