"Clearly in debt to Neil Young, Lou Reed and Pavement, with an agreeably creaky voice reminiscent of J. Mascis, singer/songwriter Tom Comerford serves up an engaging mix of acoustic and electric indie rock on his debut LP ... Comerford's approach is understated, at times almost sleepy, but his smart songs and jittery guitar held my interest throughout." --Jim Santo, Demo Universe

"Experimental filmmaker and musician Tom Comerford has appropriated the name [Kaspar Hauser] for his latest band, and it's a folky, rocky, CBGBesque pastiche of Wilco, They Might Be Giants, The Kinks, Lou Reed, and Neil Young; the first four from a vocal standpoint and the latter for his sense of a wobbly, catholic aesthetic. Out-of-tune guitars, fanciful, evocative lyrics, and a heartfelt vocal delivery make this an interesting album — an album that takes you back to a time when music could be intentionally coarse and loose. Sparse, this album is the equivalent of the black-walled bar — complete with stinky bathrooms — where you could see an artist working out his vision on the stage from week to week." --Dave Weil, "Life in the Dark Room," Kindamuzik
